I purchased a used car from a acquaintance's daughter. I had asked about registration and was informed that it only needs to be registered for the current year. When I went to the DMV, I found out that the car was not under her name and that DMV shows that the owner is another person and that the car has not been registered for the past 2 years. DMV is now asking almost $400.00 dollars to register the car. It also turned out that since the daughter I purchased the car from never registered the car. The car has since been impounded because it of the registration issue. Do I have a valid claim if I were to take this person to court and file a small claim lawsuit to get my money back? Can anyone sell a car even though DMV says that the car is not theirs since they have not registered the car? Any advise will be much appreciated.
