Good morning. First post here.
Bought a civic from a guy who claims he got the car from auction. He showed me his auction access card.
This is the first time that I'm buying from a private dealer. I was always two minded about that. But, I needed a car fast and I think I might have brought my self a huge headache.
I have the title of the car. But the private dealers name isn't on the title. It's the previous owners name. I honestly had no clue how private dealer transactions work. So I now have the title and NYS DMV is asking for me to get the title signed off to me by the last owner whose had the title. Note: This is not the same person as the one who sold me the car.
I have the sellers license, home address and phone number. At the moment he isn't answering my phone calls.
My next step is to go to the police.
I'm afraid car was stolen and then sold to me. But how would he have the title of the car if it was stolen.
Please any advice can help.
I know I shouldn't have rushed it, but was in real need of a car.
