Mullinax Ford Of Central Florida ripped me off for $100 for license & title work on a trade in Infiniti vehicle - even though the title to Infiniti was never taken out of TK Roberts' name! Apopka FL
In March 2002, used car salesmen, Dinga, Schultz, Oberman and Flores at Mullinax charged TK Roberts $100 for license/title work fees to trade in the 1991 Infiniti for a Nissan Frontier. We just received a tow company letter saying Roberts is still the listed owner of the Infiniti!
Apparently, the dealer just sent the car to Odessa auction without doing any title transfer, and the auction "went out of business" So, the dealer did not do the work he was paid for in transferring title. We should be refunded this money, plus interest since the transaction occurred.
We have had to spend hours down at the tow company, the state DMV and at Mullinax to prove the title should not have Roberts' name, when Mullinax used car salesmen should have done this in 2002 when the transaction originally occurred!
Of course, the tow company, the state and Mullinax claim what was done is "entirely legal". Well, it's also a rip-off to consumers to pay for a service that is not performed!
Besides that, be aware that Mullinax did not prep the Frontier before delivery to us. Roberts took it back because it had insect infestation, no gas in the tank, a dead battery and half of the back seat was soaked with a red, sugary drink! Obviously, the "service" at this dealership leaves a heck of a lot to be desired.

never heard of a dealer charging a license & title fee on the trade-in vehicle

Wasn't the Infiniti still yours? DMV records showed you still owned the Infiniti. Why argue with them? You should have paid the storage bill and taken your car back. Then you could have sold it and made a profit on the whole deal. By the way, I have never heard of a dealer charging a license & title fee on the trade-in vehicle. Those fees are typically for the new vehicle -- in your case the Nissan -- only.
