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.
All vehicles have a title. You should have never bought a car without receiving the title. Demand the title from the seller. If he does not have one, take him in tow to your local DMV and request a duplicate title.
A car should always have a title if not see the person you bought it from or see the dealership.
Depending on the state you're in and the year of the car then yes you can sell one without a title.
A salvage title car will bring far less that one without a salvage title. Deduct about 20% from the retail value.
You are responsible for the title because you were the one that traded the car. You say the vehicle was never titled. Go to the DMV with the vin number and see if the car was titled and you did receive. If it was then apply for a lost title. If it was never titled you will have to go back to the dealer where it was bought and get them to process the paperwork for the title.
You cannot sell a car without a title. Go to you local DMV and tell them you lost the title. There you can apply for a new one. Once you get the new title you can sell the car. Don't try to do it any other way.
Names on title appear as either (and) (or) if the title is and then both signatures are required. if it is or then only one signature is required to modify ownership of title.
Call local insurance Companies that do a title bond Buying a car without a title is very foolish. You may have a vehicle that was stolen. You may have a vehicle that was totally wrecked and rebuilt. You may be in deep on this car. I suggest you contact the previous owner and demand a title or a refund of your money.
You can go to a notary station with the signed title, and talk to an employee about putting it in your name. Without the original owner being present, it will be harder to transfer the title and will take a longer amount of time. They will most likely try to contact her, and will also run the VIN number to make sure the car is not reported stolen or anything like that. If all checks out okay then they should be able to transfer the title. If you have a bill of sale, take it with you to the Notary station. Your best bet is really to try and locate the original owner and transfer the title the right way, but be prepared to pay a sales tax along with a registration fee. You really should never buy a car without a title, unless you don't plan on driving it on public roads. Without a title with your name on it, you can't prove to anyone that the cars yours
Only if he is the only one on the title.
I have been car sales for 7 years and Nebraska law is that it takes 1 to buy but 2 to sell. What this means is that you could put a car in say your wife and your name without her permision but to change the title "sell" you both would need to sine the title.The long and short yes you would need the others permision to re-title the car. Just the opposite in Kansas. Traded in a car titled to myself and my wife and bought one titled to myself and daughter. No problem selling the car with only my signature, but could not register the new one without my daughter's signature.
Go to the DMV and register for one. It costs extra but they should be able to do it
