Well, continuing the saga, the salesman doesn't know what to do about this, and has forwarded this on to the sales manager to see what they can figure out.
Truthfully I'm not sure how the car was able to come into them on trade on an old title?
What would happen here if this can't be resolved, would they have to take the car back and refund my money? What would happen with the registration since that's all done in my name with MN plates now (that part was successful I guess)?
Basically I got a car sitting in the old man's driveway in MN fully legal to drive with plates and insurance in my name (and a loan), but I/the bank don't actually own the car at this point.
What do you think will happen?
I figure if this doesn't work out, then that's it, I'm getting a 2006-2008 S-197 with sub-35k miles and I'll just be done with it. This is the second time I've tried to buy an SN-95, the first time around was a white 94 GT with 40k miles back when I was 19, but the bank wouldn't give me a loan for a car that old, even with a cosigner and perfect credit. The car was only $7k back then too, back in 2003. Go figure, today that same credit union gave me the loan for this car no questions asked, and now no longer cares how old a car is. This time around I just can't title the thing.
Like I said, I'm not sure how the dealer was even able to take this in with an old title.
