Vehicle Titles

No, No, No, a thousand times NO!!! You are just asking problems.

I have purchased salvage cars twice with fine results. It all boils down to why it was declared a total loss by the insurance company. Older cars are easily totaled, even a minor fender bender can turn an older car into a salvage vehicle since older cars are worth less and if the damage costs more than 75% of the car's value the insurance companies total it. Now a newer car with a salvage title spells trouble since that could mean the car sustained over $15K in damages and that's major. You just need to know why the car was totaled, have it inspected by a mechanic, don't pay too much (it's worth roughly 60% of a comparable car with a clean title) and run it til it dies since they are harder to sell than clean titled cars. Still, I've purchased a Toyota and a Volvo with salvage titles and they are the best running cars I've ever owned. People always say run from salvage cars,which is a blanket statement that is often untrue and unfair. Consider this: a new car gets rear-ended and has $5000 in damage; it gets to keep it's clean title. The same damage on an eight year old car would total it. Same damage, different title. A clean title, therefore, does not mean a clean car. At least a salvage title is honest and upfront about prior damage!

Don't worry. You don't need to have a driver's license to hold a vehicle title in Ohio. www.dmv.org DMV.ORG - The Unofficial Guide to the DMV

No you can't or everyone and their momma would be doing this if you could! Wake up and reason with yourself! Did I answer your question? I hope so!

First off, get it out of the impound. Pay the fines/fees/court time. If you can't, you may be stuck unless there are independent inspectors in your area. If you can get it out of impound, you'll need to trailer the bike to the local DMV where an inspector will most likely have you wait for quite some time. A vin without title isn't the worst thing, but it could be better. They will first inspect the bike for safety and regulation. If you pass that inspection, they will usually run a check of the vin you have. You'll most likely need any sales/lien paperwork you have when you acquired the bike/vin. As long as the vin doesn't come back stolen or with any lien's outstanding usually, they'll issue a duplicate title. They forget to mention all this in "how to build a chopper." Not to mention the hassle of registering a homebuilt with the insurance company. I hope that helps.

This depends on the wording of the title. If the names on the title is listed as John Doe and Jane Doe, yes you need both signatures, unless he is deceased. If the names are listed John Doe and or Jane Doe then no you don't need his signature.

Both people own the car. If the names on the title show John Doe "and" Jane Doe, the title must be signed by both John and Jane before it can be sold. If it shows John Doe "or" Jane Doe, only one signature is required to be able to sell it.

no if your name is on the title it is not possible to do that because posseion is nine-tenths of the law and all is wrong during attemped thiving in a court of law false information to a judge is ten yaers to life in jail

hope it helps=)

Whether a camper title needs to be notarized depends on the state where the transaction takes place. Some states require notarization for the transfer of vehicle titles, while others do not. It's essential to check your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent authority for specific requirements regarding camper title transfers. Always ensure you have the correct documentation to avoid issues during the registration process.

File for a lost title and bring all the documentation you can, and hope like you-know-what you didn't buy a hot car.

Why would you waste your money trying to get something from a person that that person does not have.

Not sure about all 50 states but in the state of Illinois it is a misdemeanor for a dealer to sell a car and not have the buyer sign a form provided by the state which the buyer is acknowledging that the car is a salvage/rebuilt vehicle. Repeat offenders are felonies.

Contact your states DMV to find out what your law states where you live.

This depends entirely on where you live.

Some places "Print" a replacement Title within a few minutes.

Some places take up to a month to mail one out.

If the seller or person who wants to give you the car doesn't have the title they don't own the car legally, cannot transfer title to you and you won't be able to register it as the new owner. The person in possession of the vehicle must request a new certificate from the state department of motor vehicles by whatever procedure is used in your jurisdiction. You should not take possession of the vehicle until a new certificate of title is obtained by the person in possession and then signed over to you.

If you want the title to be transferred the owner listed on the Certificate of Title is the only one who can sign it over. If they won't sign then you cannot take over ownership of the vehicle.

she is a co owner of the vehicle. Who ever has the vehicle will need the other signature to sell it. in most states you can register the vehicle in either name or both.

Sounds like you need to call a local attorney for state specific advice. You are into an area that will require a judgment/judge and that's NOT me. Good Luck

I just posted this question, here is the entire situation. I live in PA, paid the seller (a friend) the agreed upon amount of $2300.00 over the course of 6 months, the final payment coming in August 2004. All debts were satisfied; however, the seller kept putting off the title transfer after numerous requests by me. This week the vehicle was repossessed by the seller for no reason. I reported the vehicle stolen to the police and the police stated that since she still has the title she needs to make the report. I discovered that she indeed repo'ed the vehicle for what she states as failure to satisfy the agreed upon amount. I have proof that I paid her the entire amount and the fair market value for the vehicle is $2100.00, $200.00 less than what I paid the seller. Does having the title in the seller's name give the seller legal rights to take back the vehicle even after all agreed upon debts were satisfied?

If the title is in her name, the police are going to say it's her car until you get a lawyer and sue her. With documentation of the agreed price and payments made, you should have no trouble convincing a judge.

all you need to sell your car is your car title
