No, I wouldn't think so. (Once the car is properly titled in your name, it's yours

and all the responsibility that goes with that, including keeping it insured, and

a previous owner cannot simply take the title back----period.)

Of course, if the title never actually was transferred to you and you were

attempting to buy the vehicle on installment terms and then failed to meet

some or all of those terms, that would be a different issue.
