Paid for car - got no title?

I paid over 10k cash for new car, got bill of sale, Seller said he would send title as soon as he paid off loan. It has been one month now. Still no title. Okay - NOW I seem naive but he does seem to be such a nice guy. What do I do from here????

Paid for car - got no title?

You just gave that person 10k for...nothing. I won%26#039;t lecture you, but what were you thinking?!

You need to get a lawyer tomorrow, make it the first call of the day. Don%26#039;t play nice as this is not a situation to make friends. The car needs to be payed off before the title can be released, that is correct. But, this should have been done prior to the sale or at the same time as the sale. The second call I would make would be the police. You need to have a police report filed ASAP to cover yourself. Don%26#039;t mess around with this %26quot;nice%26quot; guy. If it were a lesser amount of money, maybe. 10k? Nope. That amount will turn a nice guy mean.

The fact of the matter is you should have each signed the title and it should have been notorized during the sale of the car. Basically, what has happened is you have his car. I wouldn%26#039;t even drive it. Did you see the registration? Did you see anything stating the car was his to sell? As of now, no legal sale has taken place. I don%26#039;t envy you. By chance, did you buy this on Ebay? If so, contact them as well. Go at this guy with guns drawn starting tomorrow. Lawyer first, remember that.

Good luck to you, it sounds like you have a battle to come.

Contact the Motor Vehicle Dept where you live, provide them with bill of sale and request title. There%26#039;s always a chance that they might request his transfer, but then maybe not. Doesn%26#039;t hurt to try. You have a bill of sale - that%26#039;s sufficient proof. You have the car, that%26#039;s sufficient proof. And the bill of sale is evidence in case you need to take legal action. The title may have been lost in the mail. If the MVD does not provide the title, then you need to take legal action.

Gee, I%26#039;m sot sure there is anything you can do. I certainly hope you have learned a good lesson from this. I, as a woman would have never done such a thing! You never buy a car from anyone till you SEE the title. Did you make any kind of a signed agreement and have it notorized? of course you didn%26#039;t. Do you have a lawyer to advise you? I fear you are totally screwed.

Good luck anyway.

You need that title to get insurance and register the car. Hound the person that has it. Who cares if he is a nice guy/ If he is nice, why hasn%26#039;t he gotten the title to you?
