I paid over 10,000 cash for the car, got a bill of sale. got 20 cay temp plates, insured car but seller still has not sent title. He states he paid the bank loan off but they had to wait ten days, etc etc. It has been one month. my temp plates expired and I sold my other car and can not drive legally. What do I do now???? He seems like such a nice guy.

You'd better get a lawyer.
Then you'd better get your head examined for buying a car without getting the title in your hand at the time of purchase! NEVER pay for a car on the promise of a title at some point in the future except from a licensed car dealer!

Go to the DMV, show them the bill of sale and they should be able to file for a lost title for you, or at least tell you if the bank was indeed paid off and released the title. They should also be able to inform you of the bank that had the lein on it so that you would be able to contact the bank and get it straightened out. Also, call the guy up and ttry to get the info as well. Have him show you a release from the bank. The bank will give him a release letter immediately upon paying the car off. Good luck.

Go to where you get your driver's licence and registration. Tell them you just bought a car and need the title.Ask for a title search.I dont' know if there is a problem but do it to be sure.
