Over 4 mos my mother had 3 transactions through a car dealership, totaling over 75000.00 in financing. The first car has not been registered or tagged (purchased in December). The second car has been registered and tagged (purchased in February). The third car is still sitting on the dealers lot (purchased in March). My mother's credit is not in the best standings and she lives on a fixed income. Does this sound deceptive in anyway to anyone? What would be her possible outcome?? What should be her next step in resolving this?

Speak first to the dealer. If that doesn't help, write a detailed letter on her behalf to the State Attorney General. The letter (send a copy to the dealer) may prompt the dealer to rectify whatever needs to be changed and save you the cost and stress of a lawyer. If it doesn't help, get a lawyer who isn't afraid of going to court.

If she did not drive the car off the dealer's property after signing the papers, she does not own the car.
You may have a case for diminished capacity regarding your mother purchasing 3 cars in 4 months.
You need to speak to the 1st and last dealer about why the car wasn't titled and why the car is still on their lot.

I like Clicks answer. If it is the same salesman, I would like to have him fired. I would also call a local TV station and see if they have an investigative news team who would like to do a story on this situation. The dealership will not want the bad publicity and will more than likely correct the problem. See if you can have the salesman's name mentioned also.
Good luck to you and keep your mom out of car dealerships. In fact, how did she get there to begin with?

Contact a lawyer.
