WOW, so many problems here. Had a local lot do something similiar, selling vehicles they didn't own. THey had a "finance" company working with them. Buyers could not get tags. Most lost their $$$ and the lot "owners" took off.

I'm guessing there is no bill of sale when it was purchased? That alone should get you a tag I would think.

I suggest contacting the local news and tell them the story. Might be shocked who else comes forward with a story from them.

Get a lawyer, stop driving it, get those tags off. This may very well be a stolen truck. Loosing a job is better than going to jail (which you will loose your job).

Best thing that you've said on the whole ordeal.

...and don't take a CHECK from the car lot. 10 times out of 11 it will bOuNcE (or they will issue a Stop Payment order on it before you can make it to the bank).

Sorry to say 1151, but our contact in your area has let us down and I'm irritated to say the very least, more like royally pissed. We're still working to find someone in your area if you end up needing them. Keep us in the loop as to how you guys made out this morning with the car lot. I'd to help you legally, but neither of us is licensed to practice law in Ohio and we're very limited to what we can even say lest we risk disbarment. If you haven't headed out yet, good luck.

Guys, thank you all so much.
843, we appreciate it, a lot. Why didn't you tell me you were a lawyer.

Not something I talk about much 1151, I don't actively practice law anymore but I keep my license up to date. I just can't give more than very general legal advice because of where I'm licensed and the penalties involved if I act as legal consul outside the state of North Carolina. We are both former prosecutors so when you get closer to choosing where you're going to enter the police force, we probably have contacts that can help you along.

Maybe I'll come to NC and become a State Trooper.

You never received a memorandum of title? You use that for plates. You can get it reprinted for 7 bucks-so long as your ID matches who is supposed to be on it.

No, she never did. Now, come to find out, there IS an investigation out on this seller not even initiated by my girlfriend. The guy's been out of business for 2 weeks.. 843. Private message me your thoughts please.

Unfortunately, no good can come from this.
