I have bought a ton of cars in my day and can’t believe I did this but the dealer told
me that I had to finalize the purchase at time of contract so I did the finance package and signed the purchase agreement without doing my due diligence. Since signing the paperwork, I have learned more about the delays and the fact that Chevy has been showing cars “in transit” for months before they actually arrived. I told the dealer I wanted to cancel my contract but they said that wasn’t possible as the car was already titled in my name.
Anyone else been in the same situation and if so, how did the dealer handle it?
Chevy is screwing a lot of people at I would think is in danger of a class action suit for deceptive trade practices by advertising cars “in transit” that are actually sitting in a hold lot, outside in the snow for
Months . Sorry for the rant but I am not a happy consumer
Would love to hear from anyone who has dealt with the same situation

If the car hasn't hit their lot, it's more than likely they do not have the MCO. And cannot physically title the car to you. When I say 'likely', I mean it lightly... as some times the MCO does come a couple weeks before the car hits the lot. Ask for proof of the title. If they cannot produce it, threaten with a lawyer. Call the bank and tell them the dealer sold you a car fraudulently and they'll intervene as well. The lawyer trick usually does the job.

And unless it's a really slow dealership and the MV clerk has nothing else to do, I highly doubt they actually titled the car already. MV usually runs 2-3 weeks behind the deal date.
