Do you have any proof of sale? Did you turn in your registration? Yup... you're still the registered owner... most states have something that a used-to-be registered owner can send in to a state's motor vehicle department to get off the hook. It is something like a "report of sale" or the like. Look in your state's department of motor vehicles (DMV) for particulars. All states have a DMV web site. You probably surrendered your title to the vehicle when you sold it and got the cash. If you've filled out the proper DMV form correctly and been honest, you have a good defense. The new owner "failed to register" the vehicle, and liability can be shifted to him. As always, consult a legal eagle if you get in a jam. They're usually pretty cheap, at least for an initial consultation. And they are the experts.

When a car is sold to you and the seller hid information from you is he liable for any of the repairs?
Without a legal contract it is "Buyer Beware" or "Sold as is".
If you sold your car but the buyer never registered it are you still responsible?
Most states require that the seller notify the DMV within a specified period of time that the car has been sold. If you do that, you should be relieved of all responsibility for whatever happens after the car is sold, whether or not the buyer registers it. If you haven't done that, you should do so without further delay.
You sold your car and signed the title over but the buyer never registered it 5 years later the car was abandoned and you were contacted to pay the towing and storage fees are you liable?
Not if you have a copy of the bill of sale. Not if you claimed the sale as income on your annual taxes and have documentation so proving.

Can you personally finance a vehicle to a buyer and retain the title until receiving full payment of sale?
Yes you can. You can be listed as a lien holder on the title. But ... be certain that the buyer re-registers the car in his/her name ... otherwise you may be held liable, as the registered owner, for accidents and traffic violations. Make sure that the new title issued has the buyers name only, as the registered owner. My son did this with a car he sold to a friend - until the car is paid off in full, the lien stays on the title.
