Dealership Problem... Please Help
Alright guys, I'm very very frustrated. Please offer suggestions to me as I have no idea what to do.
So about two weeks ago I found the evo I wanted. I went in, they looked at my trade, made me an offer for my trade and we talked about my payments and what not. I wanted to keep my payment low, so I had to more down, so I took an extra week and sold some stuff off my old car to get the money.
A week later, I have all the money I need, I walk in, give them the money and sign all the paperwork. Tada, I now own an evo... well kinda. They told me to meet them at a registry and we would register the car, and swap plates and I could take the car from there. So, I drive to the registry as they asked, and I get a call when no one shows up. "Hi, Mr. Davis? We ran into a small problem sir. We didn't get the title from the bank yet, so we cannot register the car". So I'm a bit angry, but no big deal. I can wait. They assure me it will be there in a day or two.
So, I call them daily asking if they have it, nothing A WEEK LATER! They wont put dealership plates on it because I live in Connecticut and the car is in Mass. So basically I give these people $2*,*** and a week later I have not a damn thing to show for it.
What the hell do I do?! I'm sick and tired of driving around a POS rental. I spent a **** load of money, I should have a car! Is there any legal recourse I can take? They already paid off my trade in, so I cant just reverse things... I don't know what to do...
PLEASE HELP

I hope you did not pay for the rental, the dealer should be paying for it.
Why could they not put a temp tag on it for you till you can do the tag transfer?
Have a lawyer call them for you.
I have seen out of state dealer tags around here in NJ from other states, so they could give you a dealer tag unless it is a Mass law I guess.

wondering why the dealership didn't have the title on them in the first place... I'm going through a similar situation right now except its private party so I can expect the other party's bank to release the title within the maximum 30 days allowed...
thank you sir
