More details to this question:
Last Friday I purchased a used car from a dealer. I got loan from credit union and got my registration and temporary license plate. Right after I got all of these, I got a call from car dealer saying he made mistake. The car was already sold to another customer. I have sales contract. I have registration and temporary license, and bank already set up for loan. Doesn't this make the car now belongs to me? It sounded like the transaction was done about a week ago with the other customer, but this person has not taken it to register the car, otherwise I do not think I would have been able to. Now, this sales person wants to void our sales contract. What are my legal rights?

You have a claim for recovery of what you spent and possibly for fraud. On the other hand, it seems that the seller conveyed title to you losing it to the other purchaser; it seems that either your purchase cuts off the other purchaser's interest or the seller's mistake cancels your contract and I'm not sure on how that plays out.
