Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

Involuntary transfer of vehicle title by court order
In April of 06 customer had blazer towed to boyfriends shop,he made repairs ,billls totaled $600+ ,custmr dodges calls never shows to pay.
2-3 mnths later bf contacts the local used car dealer listed on slip found inside blzr( still had temp tags on blzr) is told they are looking to repo it,guy stopped paying on his agreement w/dlr.
Dealer infoed he can have blzr if he pays repair bill+storage, verbally agrees twice,never shows up
Judgement awarded for bf at District Mag last summer against custmr,but nothing has been done w/that. Involved Att in Nov 06,all he did was send cert letters to custmr & dlr-same thing we did last summer-and find out the dlr holds the title. Dealer Att sent letter back req $700+ for them to take back the blzr (they want us to pay them to take it off our hands!)
Total incl storage is now over $12,000 and we are #1 looking into getting a court ordered replacement title but not sure if need to file a pleading against custmr or car dlr, if awarded title will dlr get mny when bf sales blzer ? or #2 do we sheriff sale it to satisfy the earlier judgement, if we do this is dlr entitled to any money?
#3 May go to dlr,give chance to hand over title b4 taking further legal action
Thanks for any advice

Re: Involuntary transfer of vehicle title by court order

You have to get a judgment against the dealer in order to proceed to a sale of the vehicle since the dealer has title to it.
