How many of you have walked into a car dealer, paid cash or cashiers check, or money order and walked out with the vehicle AND the title? None of you have done that, it just doesn't happen that way. schlep is correct.
I did.
I wired the funds to Motorwerks Mini of Minneapolis, MN before flying in to take delivery. Car was ready when I arrived and I left with the MSO (manufacturer statement of origin, used to apply for a title for a new vehicle).
On the other hand, I paid cash for a used BMW at Desert BMW of Las Vegas. Three months later, I was still getting the runaround about my title, and had to contact the division that deals with title fraud in Nevada.
If the dealer gets verifiable funds, you should get the title.
Then no, you didn't. You wired the money in advance so the dealer had it in their account before you ever got the title. The question was walk in the door plop down the money and walk out with the title. That usually does not happen with car dealers.
And a MSO is not a title. Two totally different things. You said that the MSO is used to get a title which I agree with but it really doesn't mean much
