The dealer isn't as smart as he thinks. Passing back checks is a crime. Depending on the amount it could be a felony. That doesn't insure that you'll get your money. But he can go to jail. File a complaint with your state's attorney general.

Sounds like an issue you don't want to bother the new owner with as they did nothing wrong. The people that sold your truck for you and gave you a bad check need to be prosecuted.
DA, small claims and better business bureau all should be utilized for for reclaiming funds due to you and maybe more for the trouble of it all.

As I understand the situation, they had the vehicle, you had the title. They sold the vehicle, then asked you for the title and had you sign it over. Odds are that they never registered the vehicle in their name to avoid and record of the sale for tax and liability reasons. Therefore, they had no legal right to sell the vehicle. I strongly believe I am right. In that case, they wrote a bad check as well as solkd a vehicle that was not theirs. Both are felonies.

Did they give you a bad check for your car ? Call the police.
Until you are paid, the new owner doesn't really own the car.

Contact the Dept. of Motor Vehicles not Driver License Bureau, not Tag Office In FL. we have to have a 50K bond, if no one else has taken it yet, you file against their bond if your state requires it.

I don't know how anyone can sell a car without having title, but, if they somehow managed to do that, call the local police. You are the victim of a crime, and someone will sport a set of cuffs if that is what happened.
If it simply a matter of a bad check, it will likely be a civil matter, and you will have to file in small claims court in the area of the dealership.
Good luck to you.

Did you leave your car(truck) on a consignment ( contract) ?( I guess not) if you still have the title then go to the DMV and explain the situation to them .they should have a bond($10,000-$50,000) to operate and the DMV has their number,addresses,lic.#. yes you could sue them and attach it to their bond...the bond is good for a year.and do not give them the title at all...(small claims court)

Take the bad check to the district attorney, they will prosecute and this sounds like a felony offense. You will get your money back when this person is told pay it or go to prison.
Good luck...and do it NOW!

Don't let them to act more smart, as if you give them a title, they may not provide you with the money, so first charge the price and then go for it.

Don't give them the title until they give you the money... you should contact the authorities.
