My daughter bought a car from a small dealership and at the same time traded her old car. The dealer let her take the old plates and drive the new (used) car off the lot that day. Apparently in Mass she has 7 days on the old plates. We mailed the title for her old car (which had been in my name) to the dealer.
That was days ago, and he still hasn't registered the new car for her--he initially said he'd do all the registry business when he received the old car title from us, and then mail her the plates. It's been almost 7 days and she won't be able to drive the car she bought. I've called the dealer and given him a verbal ultimatum, but I have little hope that he'll comply or refund her.
The police told my daughter this was a matter for the courts. Whom do I call to start legal proceedings? Consumer agency or lawyer? If he disappears or refuses to respond, what do we do with the unregisterable car?
Many Thanks
