I am planning to purchase a car from a private party for $13,000 but the seller still owes $6,000 to the bank and therefore cannot transfer the title upon receipt of my payment. It will take some time after payment for the necessary transfers to take place. How can I enter into this transaction without risk (i.e. if the title transfer falls thru I need my money back).

I purchased a car from dealership under the loan terms that were agreed upon at the time. However, a few weeks later they informed the bank did not approve the deal and that I needed to go with another loan agreement. They said I could not return the car and I would have to pay the depreciation. Is this legal?

Bought a 2004 Ford F150 near Portland Main, in April 2010. Drove the vehicle from Portland Main to home in Woodbridge, Virginia with no problems encountered. Took the vehicle for Inspection, which it passed safety but failed the emission because the check engine light had come on. Took the vehicle to Blank Automotive which has worked on many of my vehicles in the past, and some with the same problem of the check engine light which resulted in a sensor of some type. Was informed by Blank Automotive that the engine needed a timing belt, and they did not have the tool to do the work and they would be taking it to Cowls Ford for the work to be done. I then received a call from Blank Automotive stating that Ford determined the engine needed replacement. I picked the vehicle up at Cowls Ford and had the vehicle towed to P&C Racing for an examination of the engine, and was informed that the engine was now damaged beyond repair. P&C racing was unable to do the repair after a long exhausted period and the vehicle was moved to Wildfire Automotive. Wildfire Automotive started the engine replacement by rebuilding it with a re-manufactured Long Block, and proceeded to take parts from the old engine as part of the rebuild. Wildfire then informed me that some of the parts should be replaced since some were damaged by P&C Racing and we were so far into the rebuild and putting the old parts on a new or re-manufactured block would be a waste. I agreed and the following parts where installed and being backed out of the cost I am seeking: Following items were damaged by PC Racing __ Power Steering pulley $ 20.Oxygen sensor $210.Intake Hose $ 36._Power Steering Pump $ 78.Ignition Coils $272.Spark Plugs $109.Thermostat $ 17.Water Pump $ 75.Belt Tension $ 68.Serpentine Belt $ 35._Idler Pulley $ 40._High Pressure Hose $110._Exhaust Bolts and Nuts $ 30._Oil Dipstick $ 25._Radiator $225._Battery $105.Cam Sensors $ 50.Cam Solenoid $230. Motive of Blank Automotive: I believe Blank Automotive is retaliating because they gave me an estimate to repair one of my vehicles which were too high and a short warranty period (90 days). I removed the vehicle and took it to another garage (P&C Racing) which did the work at a much more competitive price and a three year warranty. I assumed that Blank Automotive understood that the move was for a more substantial warranty and that they could not match. So taking my F150 to them for an emission and correcting the check engine light was the first time back to them since I used the other garage. Questions for Blank? Was the truck towed to Cowls Ford or driven, since it needed a Timing Chain and they did not have the tool? Why on the Invoice to Cowls Ford did Blank Automotive not specify to Cowls Ford that the Vehicle needed a Timing Chain replacement? I am suing Blank Automotive for the cost of the Long Block engine ($3500.) and Labor cost ($1600.) for a total of five thousand and one hundred dollars ($5100.)

I came up to Portland, Oregon and moved into an apartment with a one year lease. However, I am still a Los Angeles resident, and have kept it so at this point. I have been here since August 9th. For number of reasons including physical (discussed with my doctor) it would be a good idea to return to CA when I can. My questions: How long can one remain on a visiting status in a state and keep the other State as official?--Do I still need to get an Oregon driver's license?--Are there other laws regarding legal residency and legal temporary residency? Thank you
