Having a Car Dealer Issue.

[GT Fanatic]

Bought a car in the beginning of September. The temp tags expire at the end of this month. I live in McKinney and the Car lot is in Desoto. The Owner of the lot lives in Carrollton. I called him last week and told him I haven't received anything in the mail yet. Since I bought the car I had my out of state number changed to a local number. He said he screwed up and the plates came to him. He said he tried calling me. I was like that's cool, asked him if he was going to be in the Plano area so we could meet up.He said we could meet up Sunday. He communicated all the way up to Saturday night about meeting up. Sunday I texted him with the address where my family and I were going to eat at off midway/190. He no shows. Basically he has stopped responding to my text and calls. I have all the paperwork for the sell but nothing has come in the mail as far as title or plates.

What can I do at this point?

Is Chuck there? I think he has my plates and I'm just trying to find him.....

Well the sell is legit and the title was mailed to us from austin. should see that soon. will spend the 7 dollars and go get new tags and plates tomorrow. also will file a dealer complaint with the state of texas as well. case closed.

Don't buy from tote the note lots?

Well that resolved itself fairly quickly.

I go down and transfer the title and they give me the plates, then I just mail them to my customer. Something fishy there.

Yeah the state doesn't mail plates, they hand them over. I beg he misplaced them.

If your having credit issues I feel bad for you son, I've got 99 problems but a dealer ain't one.

how embarrassing.

I know this much about the lot. The owner is a former Cowboy's wr. He played for them back in the late 80's I believe. I wanna say his name is Dixon. I have his dealer tag number if someone can look it up.

[dcs13]

Probably just using your tags on the tollway before he hands them over...

Read this thread. I had a similiar issue about a year ago.

Call the dealer and threaten to file a claim with TX motor vehicles. They have 2 weeks to handle that stuff and if they don't it is a pretty hefty fine. When I threatened the dealer I was having problems with I got my stuff within a week.
