Each state has different requirements for filing lost title on a car but it's generally not difficult or expensive. Inquire with the Department of Motor Vehicles in your state. They will need to do a VIN inspection and get the odometer reading off the vehicle.

Is it a good idea to sell an antique car?

Whether selling an antique car is a good or bad idea depends on what is important to the seller. The seller has to determine what are the goals of trying to sell an antique car and whether they are worth the trouble.

How can I buy an antique car without a title?

The seller was suppose to give that to you when you bought the car, you both sign the title and you take it to file with the county auditors office. If the seller had a loan to pay off, you will have to wait until it arrives in the sellers mailbox (can take 2-4 weeks) before they can sign it over to you. If the seller sold the car and you believe he is holding out on the title, take your receipt of payment (copy of the check and 'bill of sale' from the seller) and go to small claims court for the title. Make sure you get all evidence and documentation so you are prepared.

Can a title be transfeered if the seller has lost the title?

You must have a title to sell a vehicle if the new owner plans to title the vehicle. If you are selling the car for "parts only", and not planning to put the car back on the road, then you can sell it with a bill of sale only. If they want to title the vehicle, you need to go to your local DMV and apply for a lost/stolen title. Once you get the duplicate title, then you can sell the vehicle.

How do you get a title for a car that was bought without one?

It is actually illegal to sell a car without the title unless stipulated by certain circumstances. If an individual purchases a car without the appropriate title, the vehicle is not legally theirs. However, if the seller mails the title to the MVD/DVS within a certain time frame, the division will mail the new title to the buyer. If the seller has lost their title, they can request a new copy at the local MVD/DVS and fill out the appropriate transfer paperwork. Nevertheless, if the car has already been "purchased" and the seller is non compliant, there is nothing to do short of going to court.


How can you get a title for a car if you bought it with no title?

Go to your local DMV with the seller in tow, and ask for a duplicate title. You may end up in a mess here as you should have never bought a car without the seller providing the title. You have no proof you even own the car unless the seller is honest. Filing for a storage lien is how you may proceed to acquire title without trying to get ahold of the seller in tow. Ask for the forms at the DMV.
