In Ontario Canada, you can go to any Vehicle licencing office and get a search done. You need the VIN. You just ask for a "sellers package". Cost is $20.00.
No, I used to work for a DMV and they can not give out private info.
If the car is still in state and the owner has not opted out the state can run the VIN and tell the current owner. In Kansas it's the Dept. of Revenue that does it, it may be another branch in other states.
The DMV in the state you sold it, would be a good place to start. They can give some help, sometimes. Chuck.....
Sounds to me like you possibly have a stolen car. Anytime you purchase a used car make sure the title and registration belong to the seller and ask for ID. Better yet, before you buy the car, take the title number and call the DMV to find out who the correct owner is and if the title is clean. Hopefully, you can track the seller down. Good luck!
You can start by searching carfax to see if the car has not been scrapped. Then, you might be able to check public records to find out who the current owner is.
Car Fax will tell you where the car was last registered and it will tell you witch dealers have had your car in their inventory and where they got it from. Car Fax will not give you the names of private individuals who have owned your car and with out the previous plates it would be difficult to find out who had owner ship of it. You could see if the title history is kept from owner to owner through the dmv.
Some websites that will help you find used cars for sale by owner are: Auto Trader, Cars for Sale, A Used Car, Cars Direct, Auto Shopper and Automobile Mag.

how do you find out if the owner still owe a finance company on the car you are buying?
If you are mainly looking to get the best price that you can for a vehicle, you are normally better off buying a used car from a private owner, as they are usually more motivated to sell. If you are looking for a vehicle with a warranty, you will be able to find used cars at a dealership that carry a warranty.
