Hello and welcome,

Since they charged for title and registration and did not provide clear title to you, that would typically provide a basis to terminate the agreement and return the vehicle, or file suit against the dealer for damages sustain as a result of their breach, such as the cost of leasing a vehicle since you cannot drive the one you purchased from them.

You may wish to file a complaint through the BBB since the dealer may resolve the matter through that process if they wish to protect their reputation. If you do not pursue that process, then it is typically best to retain a CA consumer protection law attorney to represent you in this matter.

The state bar association can provide attorney referrals at calbar.org.
