By law (in Ohio) the dealership must provide you with a clear title within 30 days of the sale of a vehicle. Recommended you contact your local BMV about this title issue. Next get your local law enforcement involved, better yet get the State law enforcement involved (under Illegal Business Practices). Used vehicle are not to be sold prior to a dealership getting a clear title. If anything is found to be fishy, then law enforcement would get the Prosecutors office involved. P.S. - contact Governors office if you wish.

State Police? Isn't that jumping with the balls to the wall too soon?
@Orange Crush. It will come out at some point that she was driving with the other plates on, so wouldn't you think they might still say something about that even if the plates aren't on there?

How does she insure it with no title??????? I must agree with the rest..stop driving it asap. If she's in a wreck with a fictitiously tagged vehicle, she's gonna lose more than her job. What kinda bootleg dealership did she buy from? If she's got no title, then she doesn't own it. Drop that truck off at the dealer, tell them to shove up a$$ and start over fresh at a reputable dealer. Think of it as a $1ooo lease.

1151 - No going to the state level is not jumping the gun persay. Here is a little ammo for your case. Look at "Ohio Law Code 4505.181 - Obtaining certificate of title prerequisite to offering vehicle for sale". Read the entire thing, but first look at Sub-section 2B1. Here is what it says -
