My son bought his first used car from a private seller. This guy had a post in FB marketplace and it said the car was in great condition and had clean title. So we met on Sunday because that was convenient for them. We test drove the car and it was in fair condition but my son liked it. While we went to break change in the store, the guy had my son go ahead and sign the title. Then the guy had a bill of sale which my son signed. Later we found out it's not the sellers car but his girlfriends car and it's not even in her name, it's in a dealership name. We asked if they would put it in the girlfriend's name but they said basically no we liked the car and bought it and they don't have the money now and that's on us. So we tried to contact the dealership and those people are shady too. They can't hardly speak English however they did sign the title but will not sign over the bill of sale now. Both parties said they will not help us. We totally took the bait...what can we do now to get the car put into our name so we can drive this car legally?
