    Angry Salvage Vehicle, Need to Acquire Paperwork

    My question involves vehicle registration or title in the state of: New York.
    3 years ago I purchased a Salvage Vehicle from a used car dealer.
    I invested over $12,000 in this vehicle.
    The vehicle has been repaired and the dealer failed to deliver the required paperwork
    in order to complete the New York State Inspection.
    He has all the paperworks, Receipts from the repair work, the original title.
    I have nothing except a copy of the title and a copy of the receipt from IAAI stating that
    he purchased the vehicle.I had the truck but I gave it back to him because it was of no use to me
    without the title. I can get the truck back..no problem.
    He stated that IAAI did not release the accident report and DMV requires this report.
    It's been 3 years, I see this guy on a weekly basis and its the same old story.
    His business has pretty much gone under due to the recession, he is broke.
    What can I do? Thanks for taking the time to address my question.

    File a lawsuit? But if he has no money, he has no money.

    Never purchase a car from a dealer unless they show you the title. They are notorious for closing deals when they don't even have the prior owner's title yet. In other words, they probably had no right to even sell the vehicle unless they ahd been authorized to pay off the prior owner's loan on it.
