A family member paid in full for a vehicle in Missouri on July 6. The temporary permit expires Monday August 6. Despite contacting the dealership multiple times, this relative still does not have a copy of the vehicle title. The last time this relative contacted the dealership, the employees hung up on her. If she does not have the title by Monday, she can be charged a very high late fee when she goes to register the vehicle. What can she legally do in this situation?

A Temporary Permit is only good for 30 days and only one can be purchased per vehicle.

She can take her sales document to DMV, explain it to them, and put in an official complaint. I hate titling documents, they are so damn clumsy, and technologically primitive. In Canada, we use ownership documents. When you buy a used vehicle from a dealer in Manitoba, he HAS to provide the ownership document in his name, you register the vehicle and get the ownership document in your name immediately. There is a workaround if you happen to lose the document, as long as it was, indeed, provided. When you buy a new vehiclein the US, you get a Certificate of Origin, in Canada, the dealer HAS to give you the NVIS (new vehicle information statement). When that is entered during the registration process, again, you get your ownership document immediately.
What I don't understand about the transfer of title is this: if someone brings to my office in Manitoba the paperwork for a vehicle bought in the US, I can have a same day search and confirmation done with every state and province for ownership and title. Why does it take a month for a dealer in any state to get a title to a customer?

I live in Oklahoma but my husband is a dealer and here the dealership has 30 days to provide you eith the title abut if you have not recieved the title in 30 days you can take the car back and not have to pay any penalities. The dealership also has to refund your money and any trade that you had. I hope that helps.

If the car is over six or so years old, a title is not required to register and purchase a tag. Don't be a sap. The Bill of Sale is all you need. Even a reciept will work.
A temporary permit is good until the title is issued by State of Mo.

I live in Missouri, Call the attorny general of the state. what they are doing is illegal, if she paid cash for the car she should of recieved the title right then and there. if she bought it on a note she would have still gotten the title but the dealer would have alean on it. and the fee is only 25 dollars a month up tp 200 dollars total but still I would scream until someone heard me loud and clear

File suit against the dealer, call the BBB on them, and the local newspaper. Call the police, put a report in there, as well.
Likely, the dealer flat out doesn't HAVE the title, and they shouldn't have SOLD her the vehicle.
I hope she's got her receipt.

Your husband is co-owner of the car. Sadly this matter will have to be worked out diplomatically within his family. I suggest you let the smoke clear and have him try again later. If your relationship with her is the pits, then I also suggest you avoid her until this matter is settled. If there's no way to work this out, then you will need a mediator.
