So my buddy gave me a car without a title. Said he never had one since he's owned it and neither did the guy that he got it from years ago... So how would I go about getting one, or is it pretty much impossible?

 

um g/l with that. hit up the dmv or make it into a track car.

 

I thought about the track car route, but I already have one of those...

 

file for a lost title?

say the vehicle was abandoned for X number of days

 

That's all I gotta do huh? How much does that generally run me, also do I just go up to the DMV and do this, or can I go to the tag agency?

 

dont you need a proof of owner ship to re issue it to you?

 

what else is proof outside of a title and a pair of keys?

there is a vehicle abandonment law, i just have no idea how many days it is

 

well why dont u try and find the guy who ur friend bought it off of then just keep going back till u find the guy with the title? and if that doesnt work go file for a lost title and say that the title was thrown away by mistake by a previous owner or somthing.

 

Instruction - Certificate of Title Form

You do need proof of ownership, I assume. This could either be the vehicle insured in your name or the bill of sale from the previous owner. It looks as though the signature of the previous owner is enough. My bet is the latter. Hopefully you got a bill of sale that both of you signed...otherwise it could be viewed as a stolen vehicle.

But print out the form, fill it out, take it to the county tax collector (tag office) pay the $29.95 fee and there you go, new title.

Or just go with no title. If you have the bill of sale and the car is registered in your name...you'll never have need for the title. Just let the guy you sell the car to take care of it.

 

no idea, but if I had to guess I'd say tag agency
