I doubt that the title is still valid; but check with your lender before you make loan payments and make sure. They should be holding title in your name with a lien.
no you need the tittle
Yes, if you took a loan out and used your car as collaterol, then it can be taken away. If you own the title free and clear, then it cannot be taken from you. Only if you owe money on it or the previous owner owes money on it. If the previous owner has an outstanding debt on the car and sells it to you without you knowing about the debt then the car can still be repo'd.
Don't pay him until the title is in your hands. Also, make sure your bill of sale mentions that YOU don't get the loan, and that it is still his responsibility.
Show the Judge the title for the car that is properly signed over to you by the previous owner.
Never, ever buy a car with an outstanding loan. In fact you cannot transfer the title with a lien on it. Walk away from this deal. It is nothing but trouble.
The previous owner will have the title, if he or she owns it free and clear. Otherwise, the bank or loan agency has possession of the title until the balance owed to them has been paid off, and will show them as leinholder. Never ever purchase a vehicle without obtaining the title from the previous owner(s). It is their responsibility to obtain this FOR you, not the other way around. If you purchased and are restoring a non-running vehicle , just take the recept with a note from the owner to Motor vehicles and file for a lost title. This often happens with an estate purchase.
The loan has to be refinanced without the cosigner being involved.
Absolutely, name exists on title therefore you are part owner.
The loan must either be paid off at which point the bank sends the title slip to the "owner" or the bank agrees to transfer the loan to someone else's name (the new buyer).
Most banks or independent title loan companies will NOT give you an AUTO loan or consider the car as collateral on a Salvage title car. Some dealerships have been know to sell salvage title vehicles and submit the title for a loan, unbeknownst the bank or the vehicle's owner. This is not illegal in some states. Always ask to see the title when purchasing a used car from an unknown dealership.
