Used car dealership doesn't have title there, weird?
As a girl, I'm trying to be super paranoid about not being taken average of. I'm looking at a used Ford focus, after.test drive etc, he assured me its a clean non salvage title. I asked if I could see the title to be sure if this. He said he.doesn't have it, some other boss or something does and I have to have a level of trust with him. Do people not normally check the title before buying?
If they will not show you the title walk away just remember all car dealers are borderline crooks and have a terrible reputation anyone selling a car MUST have the title, no show -no buy
You will only receive the title if you pay in full at the dealership. If you finance the car, the title will be sent to the institution that issued you the loan. Once paid the title will be mailed to you
You are certainly able to see the title before you sign anything. If the dealership has money borrowed against it, the bank may hold the original, but the dealership has to at least have a copy in their file so state inspectors can check on the paper work.
It does not sound too strange. They probably keep the titles locked up somewhere. Ask to see the CarFax instead. You can look up the CarFax yourself but it will cost you a few dollars. Www.carfax.com
- Would it be weird if I bought a full size van as my first car? I'm 17 and I want to buy my first car. I'm used to driving SUVs and pickup trucks. I have always liked full size passenger vans. I like being able to haul things and customize it. I really like the 1992-97 Ford E150 XLT 7 passenger van. Would it be weird if I bought one as my first car? I'm talking about a van.
- Weird noise coming from bottom of my car? Ok so i own a 2002 Ford Mustang GT, and there has been this weird, weird rattling noise coming from beneath my car. I'm running an SLP loudmouth aftermarket exhaust and i'm wondering if thats the issue. I'm no mechanic, so i wanna know what i'm gonna be dealing with before i go see for myself. I'm 16 years old as well, I'm also running a bbk offroad x pipe and stock headers(its pretty loud), so i'm wondering if that may be part of the problem too
