Titling a car bought with no title-bill of sale.
So Check this out, I bought a car (actually a shell, frame, some suspension and some interior--with VIN) from out of state and keep going back and forth whether I want to keep it or not. SoOoo, I called the DMV about titling without a bill of sale. They said good luck, because you need a notarized bill of sale. I don't have one and probably can't get one. So long story short, I can sell the car to someone else in state with a notarized bill of sale and approximate cost to rebuild and they can get a title, but I can't get one as the supposed owner. Twice I called and talked to two different people, and both times when I got to the part where I can sell it with a notarized bill of sale and the buyer can acquire a title, they got in a hurry to get off the phone.
It appeared to me that they know it's a way to work around the system and get a title for a car in this state. What does that achieve for the state? Why isn't there a system by which I can claim ownership and do the same? All the paperwork says is that I'm the legal owner and a notary says I stated/signed that in front of them. |

check into an abandoned vehicle title. put a storage lein on it for more than it's worth. here the title will come back clean but it'll take a while.
up here if it's from certain states, a notorized bos is sufficient to get a clear title. mike

Get a business license as a mechanic THEN put a mechanics lein on it. most staes will not permit a lein unless you are a licences business.

So what's to stop, or disuade, me from presenting a notarized BOS for the car from my wife/mother/brother-in-law/neighbor and getting a title?--If all they want is notarized?

We got the car for her out of state and she went with me. The money came from our joint account and now I want to buy the car from her. |

Doug,
I've used www.broadwaytitle.com in the past. The cost is $150 though. |

Doug, I just got asked that today by a customer of mine. I happen to know THE guy in charge of the Tennessee Department of Title and Registration. He's where I got the '68 decklid I sold you. Anyway, I will ask him and post back here later or e-mail you.

Cool Mark. Please let me know what he says. You know that beautiful decklid is still sitting in my basement against the wall.
 BTW, I bought this car from a sheriff's deputy last year--triple green 70 auto car. |

His e-mail reply was: "If the car is over 30 years old and under $3,000, then you can use
a Certification of Ownership form." I will call him tomorrow for more details.

That was fast. As long as the dollar stops falling, I'm in good shape. I paid in the hundreds for this car--not including picking it up 7 hrs away. Trailer and car together wouldn't equal 3k.
This is what I dragged home. Not much value here. |

I could use good driver side door glass. Is it soft ray tinted?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
