I can answer the question I asked. The answer is NO. For the State of Arkansas I was told by the Dept of Finance that I should have done it when I sold the car. My tough luck, my being nice to the buyer. The buyer is a leach on society.
AnswerEven though you didn't place a lien on the title when you sold it, you should be able to sue and get a judgment for the unpaid amount of the note. With the judgment you can attach the buyer's property, including the car.Wiki User

IF your name is on the TITLE as buyer or cobuyer, you have the right to POSSESSION. Do you know where the car is? Do you have a key?

This is a civil matter. You should not sign over the title without being paid or without having the buyer sign a valid promissory note. You need to sue the buyer in civil court.
How can I repossess my car that someone bought from me?
Scenarios: 1. If you sold the car for cash, and the buyer paid you in full, you have nothing to repossess. 2. If you signed the title (aka pink slip) and the buyer had their name listed as Registered Owner, you no longer own the car - nothing to repossess. 3. If you sold the car and did NOT sign the title, and allowed the buyer to make monthly payments to you, AND the buyer has defaulted on making payments for some specified time, you MIGHT have some rights in regards to respossessing the vehicle. 4. If no written agreement was made (and properly signed) at the time of sale specifically stating the monthly payment arrangements - in other words a handshake deal - you MAY not have any recourse. Before proceeding, please consult legal help on this matter - Don't take what you may think is the law into your own hands.
How does primary buyer repossess auto from co-buyer who is hiding car?

If you sell a boat privately and the buyer does not pay can you repossess it if you have the title?
You can repossess the boat if it has not been paid for. It will help if you have signed documents concerning the sale and when and how it was to be paid for. And beware of the physical dangers involved if you try to repo it yourself. Experienced repo men have been killed by people mistaking them for thieves and by people who are just plain mad at being repo'ed.
Can the buyer of a car legally repossess the car from the co buyer if the co buyer has made all payments?
If they are a co owner on the reg, they have as much right to it as you-essentially, neither one of you can keep the other from using it paid for or not.
What if a buyer has secnd thoughts that differ from the co buyer?
Right up until the point when the contract is signed, the buyer can change his or her mind, and what the co-buyer thinks about it is an issue for the two of them to work out. After the contract is signed, it's pretty much too bad for the buyer if he or she has "second thoughts".
How do you repossess a car from someone who defaulted on a promissory note in a private sale?
A private auto sale is considered a contract. As such, if the buyer isn't paying as agreed, he's in breach of ths contract and subject to civil remedy, such as a law suit. Unless specified in the contract or allowed by your local law, you can't take the property back. That places you in breach as well and could be considered auto theft.
Back out of car contract not signed by primary buyer but only by secondairy buyer?
