Question: What are the legal options if a car dealership fails to provide the title for a vehicle after purchase, resulting in an inability to register the vehicle and subsequent legal and financial issues?

Answer: In a case where a car dealership fails to provide a title for a vehicle after purchase, generally you should check your jurisdiction's rules regarding this--including how much time the dealership has to provide you with the title. If the grace period for the dealership to provide you with a title has passed, an option would be to send a formal demand letter to the dealership via certified mail, requesting the title be provided. Depending on the local jurisdiction, DMV forms or complaints may be applicable.
