Who regulates nevada car dealers?
Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
Hi there. Unfortunately, this sounds like a classic example of "buyer beware" in regards to paying cash for a used car. First off, the standard DMV office is not going to help you resolve this problem. This is something that should be handled by the dealership unless the vehicle in question has a title lean against it by the previous owner. I am assuming you have kept receipts for the transaction with the Nevada car dealership. If so, the best way to expedite this issue is not to file a lawsuit against the dealership, as this will literally shut down any possible chance of getting the title. I would however, visit the dealership and ask them about the title on this vehicle. The only agency that I know of that regulates car sales in Nevada is unfortunately the DMV’s Compliance division. You might want to contact them to see what options you have to resolve this problem.

Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced mechanics :
If you pay off your vehicle in full, the lender is required to provide title, or a release, to you within 15 days. If the dealer or lender is unable to provide title or registration, you may have a claim for Breach of Contract, the dealer may have to pay you penalties, and you may have other claims.
If the buyer does not sign the title and mail or give it to DVS, then the seller`s name stays on the title of the car. If the buyer doesn`t transfer the title within 10 days, the car`s registration is suspended.
If you don`t have the title, you can still legally sell it. You`ll need to complete a Certificate of Title or Application for Duplicate or Paperless Title – REG 227, which must be signed by both the seller and the buyer.
Yes .. You will need a Temporary Tag/ Dealer Tag from Nevada to drive the car and then register the car with the DMV in California.
If they`re selling the car that they don`t actually have the title to, or have not paid the lien off before selling it, you may be able to sue for fraud, a violation of the Consumer Protection Act, a violation implied warranty of title, and negligence.

Vehicles are required to be titled in the buyer`s name within 30 days from the date of sale. Failing to properly transfer a vehicle into the buyer`s name could result in the seller being held responsible for tickets, toll violations or even crimes committed with the vehicle.
If the time of transfer is more than 60 and less than 90 days, the penalty fee is $35. If the time of transfer is more than 90 and less than 120 days, the penalty fee is $65. If the time of transfer is more than 120 days, the penalty fee is $100.
Under California law, dealers must pay off your trade-in vehicle within 21 days from purchase. If the dealer fails to do so, you may have a claim against them. If your trade-in vehicle is not paid off, you may be liable for additional payments.
In the U.S., there is no law that requires you to have a driver`s license to buy a car.
Non-Residents
You must register your vehicle here: if your vehicle is operated in Nevada for more than 30 days in a calendar year. if you engage in a trade, profession or occupation or accept gainful employment in Nevada.
If you want to avoid paying sales tax on a motor vehicle in Nevada, just buy the car from a private seller, and you owe no sales tax. If you`re buying from a dealer, you might be exempt from tax if you fall into any of the following categories. Consult your local DMV office to be sure.
Allow 30 days from the day DMV receives your documents to process your title transfer.
Vehicle Title
Nevada dealers are required to submit, to the DMV, all of the documents necessary to issue a Nevada title within 30 days of the date of the sale.
You`ll receive your title by mail 15-30 calendar days from the date you submit the replacement title application.
When a car purchased new or used from a car dealership, you will receive the car title if you pay cash and purchase the vehicle outright. If you finance the car, the dealership will hold the title until the car loan is paid off, and then the title will be released to you.
To take over ownership of a vehicle, you will need:
If the seller is not the owner whose name is on the title, you will need a Bill of Sale signed by both the seller and the person whose name appears on the title. A record of the odometer mileage (if the vehicle is less than 10 years old).

I put the wrong key in my car and a few weeks later my car just shut down and it will not start I believe it’s the computer but…
ANSWER : Hi there. What had happened is the wrong key set the security to the vehicle. This is to prevent the vehicle from starting with the wrong keys. Try removing the battery cables (+) and (-) for 13 minutes. During that time, put the original key in the ignition and turn it on. Activate everything in the car even though there is no power. Then remove the key and hook up the battery cables. The computer should have reset and reset the security. If the security is still being tripped, then I recommend seeking out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you
My heat in my car stopped working two days ago and now my car is overheating. I put antifreeze in my car and it’s still overheating 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
ANSWER : Hi there – you may have 2 related events here, a coolant leak, and a problem with the heater system. The current issue may be air inside the cooling system, which can cause overheating, and a lack of heater function. The lack of heater function could have 5 causes: the engine is not getting up to correct temperature (center of the gauge) due to a malfunctioning thermostat, the heater control valve is not letting hot coolant into the heater core, there is a restriction in the heater system that is preventing adequate hot coolant flow through the heater core, the heater fan is not working to transfer heat from the heater core to warm air for the passenger compartment, or the air blend doors inside the heater are not working properly to route warm air to the desired vents. I would recommend a heater system inspection](https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/heater-is-not-working-inspection) by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
I have changed the car battery on my Renault Grand Scenic and used the car that day on the sunday. However 3 days later the car wo
ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. If the new battery has also failed to hold a charge, the alternator is likely not working correctly. You can test the alternator at home with a voltmeter, or you can remove it and have it tested at most automotive parts stores. It will need to be replaced if it has failed. You will also want to make sure all of the electrical connections are clean, dry, and tight. For more help testing or replacing the alternator, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
Power steering loss, no belts are turning but the car is running fine. I also have a soft pedal. Whats wrong with my car?
ANSWER : I have only seen this situation once in my 30+ years and it turned out to be a broken crankshaft pulley. Belts are driven by the engine. The crankshaft pulley spins the belts, which in turn spin the air conditioner compressor, power steering and water pumps, and the alternator. The vehicle should be towed to your local repair shop and not driven. Without the water pump spinning to circulate the coolant, the engine will quickly overheat and result in more extensive damage.
As I’m driving, all my lights inside/out of the car turn off and the car still stays on. But when I turn the car off it won’t turn over
ANSWER : Hello there. The charging system on the car may not be charging the battery as you drive and the systems that keep the engine running are priority so the engine will stay running until the voltage drops below about 9 volts but the lighting and some other accessories may cut off above this voltage first. You should have the charging system tested to see if the alternator needs to be replaced.
Car keeps cranking over when not holding key, but still wont start
ANSWER : It sounds like you have 2 problems here, the starter and an engine stalling problem. The starter problem is probably the starter solenoid, a power switch (integrated into the starter assembly) that takes a small current from the ignition switch and engages a large current at the starter. The contacts in the solenoid can burn over time, "sticking", which can cause the starter "run-on" like you described, and a "no crank" condition, because the same burned contacts don’t pass heavy current very well. The poor idling may be due to a dirty idle air control valve, dirty throttle body, or air leak in the intake system of the engine. I would recommend having YourMechanic dispatch a mobile, professional mechanic to your location to do a (Starter Replacement)[https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/starter-replacement] and car starting trouble inspection.
i have changed my struts 4 months ago from you and i had 109000 milaege on it but still i have a car vibrations on it
ANSWER : Hello. The vibration could be caused by a number of things. In order to narrow it down or isolate it to one area, we would first need to know when and where the vibration occurs; I will assume that the new wheels and tires were properly balanced.
If the vibration is strictly in the front end, then that helps. If the vibration only occurs when applying the brakes, then the front rotors or hubs might be warped. If it occurs only at high speeds, then the front hubs might be warped, or a front axle might be out of balance. If the problem only occurs when you accelerate, and goes away or is reduced when you let off of the gas pedal, then it may be bad engine mounts or a bad CV axle. Bad mounts will allow the engine and transmission to move when they are not supposed during acceleration, which causes vibration. If a CV axle is bad, then the excessive play in it will cause a similar vibration. A front hub bearing can also cause vibration if it is worn-out. I would typically begin an inspection by driving the vehicle myself, and then isolating it from there. Consider having a mobile certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, come to your home or office to [diagnose your car’s vibration issue], and recommend the best path to repair.
