I Bought A Car. My Dmv Requested My Car’s Title. I Have Not Received A Ny Title Yet. Can You Help?
I’m 21/M/NY and this may be a dumb question. I bought a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor from a private dealer in Texas. It was delivered to me in October via an auto transport company. A few days before I actually took possession of the vehicle from the auto transport the company, the private Dealer that I purchased from sent me a UPS Next Day Air shipment containing the Texas Title. I registered the car at my local DMV and they needed to take the title. But they told me that Albany (NY capital) will send me a New York title. Shouldn’t I have received it by now? I don’t need it right now for any reason; I just remember being told I will eventually get one. If I wanted to sell the car, I would need it. But, to this date I have not received it. I did everything back in October.

I know they had problems early on, but I’m wondering if those of you with NEWER Hyundai’s would share your experience?
I’m considering buying a Hyundai and I REALLY like this new concept sports sedan, the Hyundai Concept Genesis. It’s supposed to for around $30,000 . .
If you own a NEWER Hyundai (any model newer than say 2002 or 2003), my question for you is:
Would you buy another Hyundai?
Why? Is it the price?, the value for the money? the quality?Any problems NOT resolved by the dealer?
If you WOULDN’T buy another Hyundai:
why not? is it the dealer service? just a crappy car? What year is yours, and what model

Sphere: Related ContentHow Do I Get Auto Dealers To List Their Inventory On My Website?
I am launching a new website exclusively for auto dealers. This website is strictly for auto dealers to trade wholesale inventory between each other. To get it off the ground, I need some initial dealers with a decent amount of wholesale inventory to list their vehicles on the website. Then I can attract other dealers to buy their inventory which attracts more wholesale inventory. But I need those first 6 to 12 dealers in a regional area to get the ball rolling. What are the best ways to find these dealers? Calling them one at a time will take too long.
BTW – The website is currently free to use for the next 2 or 3 months. After that dealers will pay a small monthly fee for using it. There are no listing fees or transaction costs.
Why Do People Use A Fraudulent Company Like Car-fax When They Know That Their Info Is Flawed?
A class-action lawsuit against Carfax claims the company doesn’t have access to police accident data in 23 states — and therefore doesn’t live up to its promise of disclosing hidden problems in used vehicles.
Carfax claims its search service is “your best protection against buying a used car with costly, hidden problems.” But in their suit, Tennessee attorneys Frank Watson and David McLaughlin charge that Carfax’s ads promise more than it can deliver. Carfax fails to disclose the limitations of its database, they said.
McLaughlin and Watson charge that auto dealer Mid-South Motors purchased a 1995 BMW 525i from another wholesaler in 2002 after buying a CARFAX report that showed no ?salvage? brands and no police accident or damage disclosure records.
A subsequent check of a database maintained by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) revealed that the BMW had been declared a ?total loss? three separate times after accidents in New York, Florida and Georgia that were

Which Honda Fit Would You Buy–the 2008, Or Upcoming New Model For 2009?
I love the Honda Fit, but have read about the few criticisms of the current car. Now the 2nd generation model has debuted at the New York Auto Show and appears to have addressed earlier issues, and it looks terrific! The downside is having to wait until September to get one, and I’m wondering if they’ll be in short supply or have waiting lists for them. Should I wait it out, or take advantage of the current model which my local dealer has a large supply of? (I bemoan the current model not having a foot rest, armrest or lever for seat height.)
