About two weeks ago, I bought a used Ford truck from a major dealership in the NoVA area. I will not name them as i have friends that work there and do not want to stir up any trouble at this point. I bought a fantastic used truck that is older, but runs and drives well, and looks good. They gave me only a paper registration card, that will expire on March 30.

I have made two attempts at getting the title. The day i bought the truck, they told me they will mail the title to me. One week later after no mail, i called the dealership and they said not to worry, that they were "sending that soon".

Another week went by and I have nothing. Today, i called the dealership again, asked about the title - they told me they didn't know, and would ask their title clerk to research it on Monday. I asked the person straight up if the vehicle actually had a title when they took it in - he said "I don't know".

What happens to me if it comes to find out that this truck does not have a title, or that the dealership never got it from the previous owner? Am I going to have to give the truck back? I really like this truck but it is useless if I have no way to register / tag it. What happens if the dealership, for whatever reason, cannot get the title??

It's only been two weeks relax .Pretty sure the dealer is going to register the truck for you,once that is done you will get your title .The pink copy you have now is enough .
