What is the name of your state? New York

I purchased a mobile home in May for $22,000 in Cash....
I was told that I would recieve the title in the mail
I am now trying to sell my home and need a title that I do not have...
I called the NYS DMV who issues the titles...they told me that they have no record of the title on file, the dealer that I bought the home from says he has the title and it was an oversight that it hasn't been mailed in in the last 5 months....in order to file it...it will cost me $25...

The DMV says that it is ILLEGAL to sell a home with out transfering the title which they (the mobile home dealer) have done, since I have been living in the home for 5 months without a title.

I would like to know who is responsible for the $25 fee....it was never told to me that I would have to file any application for a title or about the fee....

Furthermore since they sold the home ILLEGALLY can I just tell them I do not want the home and get my money back instead of trying to sell the home


PLEASE HELP!!!

** A: a mobilehome is not considered real estate.
 
In VA, mobile homes are considered real property as long as the title has been surrendered, tongue, axles and wheels have all been removed. Going through this currently with a double wide that I have listed for sale.
