I purchased a **** Stingray on 01/27/2023. I paid cash full price plus TN state sales tax. At the time of closing I was given a Bill of Sale and told I would have the Title within 30 days. After I bought the car there were a few repairs and improvements that I spent roughly $7000 on that were done by Art and Speed. I did these having been told that I will have a title for the car soon. The story was that the owner has left the country and it will take some time to get it. Over the last 11 months I have driven up to the Art and Speed offices well over a dozen times, every day some weeks, asking for the title to this car. Each time it was the same story until recently I was told that the owners brother now had the title and was going to deliver it to Art and Speed in a matter of days. This story went on for 3 months until 12/07/23 when I was told the brother has been contacted and I was told by ***** the shop owner that it will be in my hand within 2 days. Today was 2 days and I went to pick up the title and now the story has been changed to the brother has told art and speed that he doesn't want to get involved and has not delivered my title. I was told today in person that the title is now at an attorneys office in town. Over the last *************************************************************** the world and pick up the title to my car but was always assured that its coming. I have been way more than patient with them and thats run out. I think that I have been scammed and sold a car that *** have not actually have been for sale by the owner or doesn't have a legitimate title to begin with. I was promised on date of signing that Art and Speed has a copy of the title in their files but I've never seen it. Have I been driving around in a possible stolen car? Did the owner actually want to sell this car and if so has he been paid without providing me with a title. I have an appointment with an attorney on 12/19 to see how to proceed with possibly being scammed.
