he is stalling most likely because the title was not in his name,. it might
have been a consignment sale or he bought it to sell, but was stalling
getting a title in his dealership name since he didn't want to spend the
money, so now he's waiting for it to be approved from previous owner to you.

or maybe he's hiding the fact it's a wreck, which is why I say inspect the
hell out of it. I have heard of situations where dealer in state A buys a
wreck in State B, but in turn sells it for 1 dollar to his younger brother
in State C. the younger brother just happens to own a body shop, rebuilds
the wreck and sell it back to original buyer (his older brother). when the
Title crosses state lines, it goes from a salvage title to a regular title.
this usually takes a while.

the national insurance crime bureau web site says it was never REPORTED as
totaled or stolen. who knows? it might have never been reported.

Regardless he is stalling for some reason. The law needs to look into it.
If the local guys blows you off, go over his head to the State level. they
are the ones who license this so called 'dealer' in the first place.


maybe this will help.
