Cynthia Longoria says she's been waiting for three weeks for the title to her 2000 Ford Focus. While promises were made, the title never showed up, leaving her to wonder if something was wrong with the car.
It seems like she's found the answer, Cynthia tells ACTION 4 News police are telling her the car is stolen. She says the vehicle has been impounded leaving her without a car, title, and out 25-hundred dollars.
Oscar Gaza, general manager at the Bert Ogden Mazda dealership in Mission says when buying a used vehicle it's always a good idea to ask a lot of questions.
And to make sure a vehicle being traded in at his dealership is legit, Garza says all of the proper documents have to be in order before making the trade.
As for the title, Garza says that can take a few weeks to transfer over, depending on the situation. But he adds, someone from the dealership never goes to the bank to pick it up, it's always mailed to the dealership.
