What dealer sells a new vehicle without fileing the paperwork to get the new owner the title?
How many miles were on the car when you took posession?
In most states, when you 'buy' the new vehicle and drive away, you haven't actually bought it and the dealer won't file the paperwork until the down payment has been processed and financing agreements have been finalized, which can take a day or two. Technically, you are being loaned the vehicle until that happens. The only way in which you actually fully own the vehicle and the dealership immediately sends the runner over to the titling authority (or submits it online or whatever) to file the paperwork is if you pay by cash or other instant funds transfer.
