Beware of dealing with Mark Nixon

BTW - the title is not the contract.

Actually it is- If it is signed by the seller it is contract indicating you have sold the vehicle and are no longer the owner of the vehicle.

For the hell of it I just looked at the NY title of the Dart I purchased last week and it clearly states-

This document is your proof of ownership for the vehicle, keep in a safe place not with registration or in vehicle.

Unless there is a lienholder...

CT titles state that the title is not to be signed unless it is sold because this gives who ever is holding the title proof of ownership.

Guys I have seen a lot of sleezy stuff working in car dealers the last 25 years, you never, ever sign and hand over the title till the cash is in your hand.

Once you do you are screwed and at the mercy of who is holding the paper.

Just the way it is.
