Never got title from dealer - they say it'll take months to get a new one

I bought a used car from a dealer and somehow never got the title in the mail. They say they bought the car from an auction that came from another auction, so it'll take months to get a new title.Can I ask them to request a duplicate title from the DMV and then get it transferred to me? My temporary tags expire in a couple weeks and I don't want to have to go to the DMV every 30 days to get a temporary plate. via /r/cars http://ift.tt/2uAg8Nm
