You can go to the DMV and get a recovered or salvaged title for the car. It will decrease the value of the car because it is not the original.
You can sell it for cash if you have the title.
In order to prove ownership you must have the title.
no
Yup ... until the debt is paid, the dealer owns the car outright - they have the title afterall which prevents the car from being sold.
You should get a bill of sale AND the title of ownership.
Unless the buyer agrees to return the car, then nothing (...obviously??!).
If you paid cash for a car and the car dealer repossessed it, yes, you can probably sue the dealer. First contact the cops. Then, you might want to contact the dealer next. Keep records of everything.
Contact the dealer or finance company, whoever has the title, and ask them to send it to you. If they refuse, you may have to contact an attorney.
If you purchased the car in full with cash then there shouldn't be a lien. Look at your paperwork to make sure it says "Paid In Full" if it does the dealer has no right to repossess a paid in full vehicle. A lien is where you are making payments for a vehicle and the vehicle is being used a collateral until the vehicle is paid off.
The car dealer cannot take the car if it is paid for according to the contract. The dealer cannot change their mind and take back the car after the contract is signed and money has been exchanged.
If you mean to re-possess it. . . yes. If the dealer still holds the title to the car then they are still the lawful owner. ---------- Legal ? How ? As in repo ? Yes, if its not paid as agreed.
The dealer has 45 days to turn your paperwork in to the DMV. If you have a dealer tag, they must provide a SC tag on or before the 45th day. At this point it is out of the dealers hands. The day they get your tags, the SCDMV sends it to Columbia for processing (having the title put in your name) and it can take another 45 days before you get it in the mail.
