Someone who lives at my house has a friend who wants to sell me a car, a 81 nissan maxima, but there is no paperwork. I can get the id number and it has plates, but I am suspicious is there a way I can research this car and see if it is ok to buy it? thankyou
Answer
If you don't get the title, you didn't buy the car. You paid someone else to let you hold on to someone else's car.
no excuses. No title, no sale.
The seller can get a replacement tile from the DMV, assuming the seller really owns the car.
Here are a few possibilities:
The seller doesn't own the car.
The seller owns the car but took out a loan, and the lender has a lien against the title.
The seller is too lazy to go to the DMV to get a replacement title.
There is a defect in the title that the seller is trying to hide.
While the third possibility is the least toxic of these choices, it's still not great to buy a car from someone who can't be bothered to take care of it.
Unless you're paying less than $200 for the car, and so you don't care if it turns out to be junk, don't buy a car without paying a mechanic to check it out.
Even if it is possibility #3, you will still have problems because you can't register the car in your name without the title. The plates on the car now are part of someone else's registration, and when they expire, you will not be able to renew them. You will not be able to get your own plates unless you register the car in your name, and you can only do that with the title.
No title, no sale. No excuses. Even if this is a completely honest transaction, without the title, the DMV will not register the car in your name.

Car title?
JESSiCA MA
We are trying to sell our car, to get something bigger.
We bought the car from my sister, The title is still in her husbands name.
We signed it, Just didn't get it titled in our name.
What will the person buying the car, Have to do, In order to get the title in their name?
Need answers fast - the lady is on her way to look at the car now. :(
Currently, My brother in law is not capable of going to the DMV with this lady.
So unless that's our ONLY option, It isn't one right now.
We signed in the 'Buyer' area on the front.
Answer
You just fill out the info on the back of the title - there are instructions for transfer, and no, she can go to the DMV to have it switched on her own.
