It happened to me a long time ago. The car I bought was a cheap crappy Volvo 144, I forget the year, from a Mercedes dealer, they took as a trade. It took me about 2 months to get the title. Temporaty tags expired and still no title, so the car sat. Back then I was young and did not know any better.

The dealer could care less. They had already made the sale and got the money so this was all old story. Dealer and sales people only go after fresh meat.
