Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Massachusetts

no vehicle title from dealer

My son purchased a vehicle from a dealer in Mass and the dealer did the finanicing. He told my son he would go to the registry and do all the paper work and he ahd 7 days for a transfer so he could drive the vehicle. When my son went back to get the registration he was told that he( the dealer) had not had time to get it done. this went on many times. The dealer even wrote him new bills of sale with new dates so he could continue to drive the vehicle. (at this point my son i will say was very stupid). It has been 3 months and he car has been repossessed and the dealer still has not produced a title so the car was never registered and a title was never issued to my son/loan company in his name. The dealer got his money from the loan company and from what I can see from talking to him no intrest in getting a title and that means we can not even buy the car back from the loan company. the loan company does not have a title. We seem to have no leverage on the dealer. This doesn't seem legal. If the dealer can not or will not deliver a title can he be made to take the car back? What is our legal rights?
