Hello gonores, I work at a car dealership and I can tell you that this is not your problem. With take trade-ins without title all the time but always take precautions. Number you you run the DMV report on the car to make sure that you are the rightful owner. The trade is treated as cash so eventually if you cannot provide title you would owe money by law.

If you traded in your mom's car for example we would give you the relevant DMV paperwork to return.

Dealerships are highly motivated to sell cars. We hold checks, try for favors to get financing, pick payments and the such. All you need to do for that dealership is to buy the car.

I hope I can give you some perspective here. Its a weird situation but ultimately the dealership needs to act fast to resolve this and enforce their contracts.
