Car purchased, title not remitted
I purchased a used car from the owner on ebay and I have the bill of sale and proof of my purchase. The owner had purchased the car and had the proof of sale, but had not put the title in his own name. The title was still in the former owner’s name, but the owner had signed it. Since I had flown to Texas to pick up the car, I decided to complete the transaction. I drove back with the original title, but sent it back to the person I bought it from, along with money to cover the cost of transferring the title, so he could get it in his name and send it back to me. This was in June 2006 and he has not sent the title, despite repeated conversations with him during which he and his wife assured us they had the new title and would send it immediately. Can I take legal action? How can I get a title without resorting to a bonded title?

contract law
Two months ago I agreed to sell my car to someone. I still have the title in my name. I wrote a bill of sale that we both signed, that stated that the buyer would pay me $5500 on October 7. $3500 was to be paid on November 5 and an additional $3500 on December 7. To date the buyer has paid me a total of $300. Today he told me that he has spent over $8000 repairing the car and that he’ll let me have it back for half of that – $4000. The car is in the possession of the person who supposedly did the repairs.

I really don’t want the car back but I don’t think that I’ll ever get paid. If I demand it back from the repair shop, I’m sure that I’ll get stuck for the repair bill. What can I do?

How do I get the title?
I purchased a car from a private part. His bank still held the title for the car. I gave the seller a certified check. I took the car when I gave him the check. The check was written out to the bank who holds the title. The check was paid out two weeks later. It has been two months now and I still have not gotten the title. I tried calling the seller and he won’t return my calls. I have a bill of sale and a copy of the check. What do I have to do to get a title?

Fraud
If I purchased a car from a dealership I puchased the car and was only able to make one payment after that. The dealership said they were going to sue me for fraud, can they???? I have a bill of sale and a contract.
