Do I need a lawyer?

I trade in my 08 Windsport to a brand new 2014 Winnebago last November, The pay off of the first loan is $75000, I had paid an extra $20,000 for the upside down pay off on the first loan during the purchase, The problem is the dealership never pay off my first loan, I've been making 2 RV monthly payment for the last 3 month, I called the dealer many times, they just keep lying to me saying it's in the process to be pay off in a week or two, but 3 months had passed, I am afraid if I don't do anything it's going to get drag on for as long as they pleased, my question is do I need a lawyer? or take the dealership to small claims court? Does this happen to many people or just happen to me?

Forget the lawyer and contact the authorities at once. Had this happen with a car once and after contacting the state (I believe they have only 30 days to pay off the liens in FL), it wasn't long before we found out that this was business as usual with this dealer and they were promptly shut down, but not before my purchase was paid off. In this case, I paid cash and they had immediately sold my trade in. The problem was that the car I purchased had a lien and the previous owner was now getting calls from their lender. I heard later that the whole family left town in the middle of the night. Later by accident I talked to another who had business dealings with this individual and did he have some stories to tell. Not sure if he was ever arrested and prosecuted, but he sure deserved it and many times over.
