Who is the car financed through or was it paid fully with cash? ONLY the creditor can hold the title. If he traded-in the Mercedes and wrote a check for the rest then your dad needs to call the dealership in the morning and say he's on the way to pick up the title. They can't hold the title for any other reason than if it was financed through them.
