bought my ranger from a kid about a month ago said he would send the title to me b/c it had a lean on it so he seemed cool. i said alright and i got no title to this day.. i have a buyers recite and his name and his phone numbers even his address what do i do??

 

id contact the seller and see what the hold up is

 

o and btw he lives outta state

 

ya i tried and like wont pick up or respond. so.... lawyer time?

 

You hope you're not screwed. I'd call him and see what the deal is. You never ever give someone the money until they have the title in hand. You should of gone with him to the bank had him get the title released and money exchanged hands there. Now if he pissed off the money instead of paying off the lien, the bank owns your truck. It doesn't matter if you have a receipt, the bank has first rights to the truck. You'll have to try to get your money back from the seller if the bank takes it back.

I went out of state to buy my truck and looked at a few while I was in the area. There was a real low mile 03 FX4 I wanted pretty bad but he didn't have the lien released and couldn't get it released over the weekend. I wasn't going to leave him the money and hope he'd do the right thing.

 

Talk to him nicely and ask for the title and if nothing turns up...

Dont Kick his @$$ wont get you anywhere except a boyfriend and a few days in the big house

LAWYER TIME !!!!!
and
Court

 

ya the see the thing is i only got 425 in this 2000 xlt 3.0 4x4 4dr it had a bad engine so i put a newer one in it its lifted on 31s its in my garage.

 

Call your local Police Dept. or DMV?

 

Get A Lawyer NOW! Then Get the Lawyer to send him a notice saying that you are being represented by ____ _____ and ____ and that if he does not produce a title that you will take him o court and he will be responsible for paying Court Fees as Well as Lawyer Fees...

What Suing is actually made for so Use the System how it was meant to be used

 

If you only got 425 in the truck you might want to just call the bank and see what it'll take to get the lien released. You might spend more that 425 getting a lawyer involved.

 

How much did you pay for the truck??

 

425 for the truck itself.. idk which bank it is..

 

Ahh gotcha... Go to his house

 

$425 for a ranger? That seems scary low. Hope the truck isn't stolen...

 

better start scratchen off the vin #'s

 

hha i was supposed to pay another 425 after i got the title...

 

the truck is my avatar fyi

 

start parting it out lol idk what to tell you man go to his house and wait for him

 

Don't do that.

Because if he is the type of person willing to screw over a buyer (not saying he did... but...), or steal a truck and sell it to someone unsuspecting (not saying he did... but...), chances are he's the type to not look too kindly if someone shows up at his house.

I'm with everyone else. Call your lawyer.

 

hahah hed have no choice if i showed up with a buddy lol im 18

 

Well if you can't get ahold of him on the phone you could try sending a certified letter. I wouldn't get a lawyer 'cause that's expensive for this early but you can usually contact a local police dept. (might need to deal with yours AND his since he's out of state) and they can help you write a letter that will warn the guy about consequences. Honestly though, it takes some time to get a title... I know when I sold my '99 it took almost a month for the bank to finally mail me the title to the truck.... but I would leave him a calm message saying you're just checking on the title then start working w/ police ASAP... hopefully it all works out...

 

did i read properly? you started modding a truck that you partially purchased, that wasn't in your name?

i think you got taken. i'd put that bad motor back in and take off all the other stuff and then get ahold of a lawyer or your local police. i'm willing to bet that the truck is either stolen or he beat on it bad and his insurance won't cover the cost and now he's trying to get rid of it but can't because of the insurance knowing that the truck was damaged.

 

x2^
Put the truck back the way it was . Then take the VIN to the local police and have them run it through their system after you explain what's going on .

 

2 weeks really isnt that long of a time. Ive waited damn near a month waiting on a title to be released before. But then you have to wonder....If you only paid $425 why wasnt it paid off? if it wasnt for that low price i wouldnt stress too bad over it. Good luck buddy.

 

im with everyone else, get a lawer. I work for a law firm and youd be surprised what gets done with just a letter from a lawer
