I bought a car without a title.. all I have is Report of deposit of fees from DMV I don't know what its. and the letter of the seller that saying he sold this car for me and bla bla bla…
I got this car in cali, and drove back to Kansas.. basically the seller told me when I go back to kansas and go to any auto store, and do the lien sell title.. I did ask around, but there were no place like that..! i felt like i just got scam from him..
I went to DMV , and they told me without the title, the car can not be registered. the car has salvage title on it. So please tell me what should I do now!?what he was saying about to get the lien sell title or watever?? is any other way that I can get the title by myself??? please HELP!!
I did check with the carfax record, the car is not a stolen car, luckily! I don't think that I can report for lost title because the original owner has to release the title or registration .. I went to DMV and ask , the only thing that he told me is .. YOU NEED A TITLE IN ORDER TO REGISTER. PERIOD! !!!!

What my plans are for this month is trade-in my used car, and purchase a new car (2009 Toyota Yaris 4d Hatchback Auto) ~$14,000

I used Kelly blue book, and they gave me an estimate, but since my car is in Salvage Title due to theft, the price would definitely go down.
Kelly blue book gave me an estimate of my car being worth at suggested retail value asking price of 4,520 at dealers.

1996 Honda Accord DX Sedan 4D
My used car specifications:
Engine: 4-Cyl. 2.2 Liter
Trans: Automatic
Drive: FWD
Mileage: 181,000

Equipment:
Air Conditioning
Power Steering
AM/FM Stereo
Single Compact Disc
Dual Front Air Bags
Alloy Wheels

I also have slight scratches in the rear and front of the car.

If this is also taken into consideration..
I also just recently gotten my transmission rebuilt 2months ago ($1300), new steering wheel gear box 4 months ago($400), recently purchased new tires 6 months ago($300+), new battery starter 1 month ($100)

Basically.. I'm looking to trade in my car, and with the price I can get, and add in my own money to equal $2,000 for a down payment

Your thoughts?

Thank you!!

if a carfax shows a car has had a rebuilt title for the pas 7 years, but doesnt show a salvage title or haveany details other than that the dmv reports a rebuilt title and there are no failed inspections listed on the carfax, what should i think? there are only 2 owners listed, and the second owner says he was pretty sure he title he had said original. could the carfx be wrong? the secong owner has shown maint records of all and any maint hes had done, and nothing is reported b the auto center he uses. im trying to make sense of the carfax… could it be wrong? and if it is rebuilt, with the fact tht its still running strong after being listed as such for 7 years, does tis attest to the reliablilty of the car????

OK, I asked another question yesterday about unknowingly being sold a car with a salvage title — http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061128073937AAwWAu9 — which the dealership is supposedly still uncertain of.

Well, the saga continues. Now they claim they should get the title today, they're just waiting for the auction people to send it. I've been told that the auction part is normal, though them not knowing any details about their purchase seems odd, to say the least.

They're claiming they're in the same position I'm in! Isn't it their responsibility to know? Plus when I asked they insisted it hadn't been in a wreck, and they went further to give me a warranty.

Assuming the car has only been in a wreck (that resulted in a settlement for $13k in 12/2005) how does that effect the so-called bumper-to-bumper warranty they gave me? Is this alone fraud, even if it doesn't have a salvage title?

Shouldn't they reduce the price? Am I stuck?

(I'm in TX.)
I purchased the car 11/22 but didn't get the insurance stuff until after the Thanksgiving holiday. That's when my insurance agent discovered the wreck, on 11/27.

I have called the TX Attorney General and the DMV and they're telling me to submit a complaint. I'm going to call the legal people provided through my job later today, but I was hoping to settle this peacefully.

Initially they seemed to won't to resolve this, yesterday they implied they were already looking for a new Ion, and insisted they wouldn't leave me in a wrecked vehicle.

Now it just seems like they're trying to get out of it and shirk responsibility. But I don't think ignorance is an adequate defense. At the very least I think the price should be lowered, or I should be released from the contract.

I do know that I would not have bought the car had they told me it was in a $13k wreck and they acknowledge that that's likely the case. Still, they insist the wreck doesn't effect our deal.
I got it from a smaller local dealer called Auto Max.

My issue with the wreck is that I specifically asked if it had been in a wreck and they said no. I asked two separate salesmen and they both said no.

My insurance agent only found the $13k claim through one insurance company — he was checking them all for the lowest price. None of the other insurance companies were showing this claim BUT I'm sure the dealership knew what was what.

I can't accept that the auction didn't let them know the history of that car — I'm sure the truth of the matter was in the price they paid for it. If they got a severely discounted price on it they had to know why, in my opinion. I doubt they got gypped too.

Though, I did initially give them the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe they really didn't know, but now I'm thinking the shock was more a reaction to the fact that I found out about it, rather than true ignorance/innocence.

And still, they claim they don't have the title.
