First let me say, I love my Viper and have enjoyed meeting many like enthusiasts since owning it. Hope I am posting this in the correct spot ->
I purchased my Viper out of state (TX) in February (no it wasn't from Hennesey )
. Have paid for and have received the car obviously, but I have yet to receive the title from previous owner. He has acknowledged that due tax has not been paid in his state of TX and thus he does not have a title in his or anyone elses name. Have tried most all forms of contact with polite diligence and I am still unable to, at a minimum, have him register the car in TX so he can get the title available for transfer to myself. The last contact I had was 'I will get you a title if you pay the due TX taxes which is 6.75% of $76,000. I even offered to pay half just to get this over with; no response. This is total BS.........
I need your advice as to who to contact next such as TX DMV or any other authorities or recourse for getting a title, if possible, before I pursue civil action. Bottom line is I have a very expensive car which on paper I do not own.
BTW: The prev owner, at least, has been sending me a TX temp tag so I can ride. I am certain this will end once I lose my cool the next time we talk...
And yes, he did pay for and took delivery of the car as I have all original paperwork. He just never payed the tax to get it titled/registered.
Thanxs ahead.
