Unless the dealership can prove that a court allowed the repossession to go ahead (that a court vacated the "temporary stay"), it would be extremely risky to purchase the vehicle--since if the dealership is misinformed (or lying) and the stay has *not* been lifted, then they can't sell you the car, and the original owner can get it back from you, leaving you to try sue the dealership to recover your money. Do not  purchase unless you see court documentation; you should also speak directly to the bank yourself. Or better yet--don't buy this car at all, because that way, there is no risk. Purchase another vehicle.
