titleThe finance company not the dealer holds the title to your car, when it is paid off they send it to your state who then makes a new title in your name and mails it to you. If the dealer is the financier then they will have made arrangements for their notes to be taken over, in the event that they did not your DMV can help you acquire the title if you can prove that you have paid for it. AnswerPresumably you bought a car, that was financed by an agreement for sale...where you pay every week (or month) and don't get title until the entire amount is paid. "We tote your note". These arrangements are much different than actually financing the car with it as collateral.

That the dealer went out of biz while you still owe on the note, meaning they could claim that they want it back because you failed to make timely payments, could be a complication at some point.

2 things to do now though:

Carefully read your agreement. There is normally specific instructions on how you must tender payment - and or where to make legal contact. Make contact by certified letter saying that you have not been able to reach them at the place of Biz, as you always had previously, and have received no communications. If there are no alternative addresses, write the same type of letter, certified mail, to the address of the place of Biz that is closed. (It may well get fowarded). Your just trying to establish in a verifiable way that you have been making reasonable attempts to adhere to the agreement.

Then, and you can begin to do this at the same time, check with your State. Many, if not most, States require used car dealers to be liscensed. They should have contact information, or a process for you to follow already established to assure the title is delivered, if the dealer has flown the coop!

Is there any way to obtain sales or ownership info on a firearm purchased several years ago if the receipt is unavailable and the dealer is out of business?

This depends on whether the dealer just folded or if the business was bought out by someone. A dealer going out of business is required to surrender his records to the ATF. If he is bought out, the buyer can keep the records, or he can choose to surrender them to the ATF anyway. You may try to contact ATF about those records.

Can a used dealer sell you a car without telling you the car was salvage but the title was rebuilt?

Not sure about all 50 states but in the state of Illinois it is a misdemeanor for a dealer to sell a car and not have the buyer sign a form provided by the state which the buyer is acknowledging that the car is a salvage/rebuilt vehicle. Repeat offenders are felonies. Contact your states DMV to find out what your law states where you live.

What are your legal right if you signed a contact for a car in another state and the sold it the next day?

If the dealer agreed to sell you the car but sold it to another buyer:The dealer will claim it is an error, and it may be, it often happens that two sales people have deals going on the same car at the same time and one "CLOSES" first, meaning the other buyer actually pays 100% and drives away. This can happen without the dealer ship catching it.Then they have to give 100% of any deposit back and should apologise. When this happens we (at the dealer I work for) try to sell you an equivalent car with an option or add on feature at no extra charge as an apology.In another state makes no difference!
