Car Registration Questions, Caused By Dealership Error!?
So I bought a car on May 7 from a dealership. I paid cash. The dealership said that they would mail me the title/odometer reading/etc within a week.. it’s just their standard procedure. I say that that’s fine, wait two weeks only to receive nothing in the mail, call the dealership who says that they’ll send it out the next day. I wait another week and call them again – they forgot and will overnight it to me. By the time I get this overnighted package with the materials I have 2 business days to register my car. I go to the DMV the first day and they say that the dealership didn’t sign my title so I get it signed later that day. The next day I go to the DMV only to find that the odometer readings on my title were incorrect and due to a stupid mistake the dealership managed to make it look like the odometer went backwards 30 miles while it was in their care. At this point I call the dealership who needs to get a new title issued from the state and send it to me. They say it’s in the mail. My car was supposed to be registered 3 days ago. What would you do? Is this a breach of contract? Could I get in trouble if pulled over? I love my car.. but this is messed up.

They breached the contract plus NOW there is a odometer discrepancy which is illegal.
No one can sell a car without a title and it sounds like they have more to hide.
Yes you can get in trouble for this and you will be ticketed as well.
You love the car but if I were you I would take it back and get my money because just from what you have said I DON’T trust them….
