Now the B.S. begins
The guy who holds the car currently is going to rail this deal with Storage fees..... I suspect that even if a judge saw your way in a decision the fees for storing the car will put it way over the top. If I personally spent the money on the car with a clear understanding that nothing prevented me from titling the car the price of the fees would topple the purchase price because I don't plan on being a victim of the deal....I am not even sure the OP could get half of the 6K the car was sold for honestly.
