The answer to this question partially depends on whether or not you signed the purchase agreement and made payment in full under its terms. Assuming you did, you're describing a classic case of breach of contract. The seller promised to send the title within two days and failed to do so. You have possession of the car but no legal right to it until he signs over the title and delivers it to you. You have the right to demand (in writing) delivery of the car title within a reasonable period of time. If he doesn't deliver the title, you can sue for your damages in justice court (uo to $10,000) or small claims court ($6,000).
