i have someone is going to give me a car but has no title he bout the car the car as a package deal what do i?

Question

need to get a titlein my name what sholud i do

Answer 1

If he doesn't have the title, then he didn't really buy it. He's giving it to you because it's stolen, and he needs to get rid of the evidence. Turn him in.

Answer 2

Run away as fast as you can. Without a clear title you do not, repeat, DO NOT own the car. The title owner can show up at any time and take it. You will spend thousands trying to recover it through the courts. You may spend hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours trying to get a replacement title with the correct information on it. You are inviting a nightmare into your life with this deal.

Answer 3

If he owns the car, but lost the title, he can get a new title from your state DMV, Secretary of State, or wherever you get your license plates, etc. He needs to do that BEFORE he gives you the car, unless you want to take on the headache of chasing it down, paying for the replacement title, etc.

If he doesn't own the car, but got it without a title from someone else, he needs to get the title from the last registered owner. YOU SURE AS HECK BETTER NOT TAKE POSSESSION OF THE CAR until he gets the title. If you do, he has no incentive to follow up on getting the paperwork except his own good nature. If he doesn't have one, you have an unusable car parked in your driveway until you get it done. He may just be giving it to you to get rid of a headache he doesn't want to deal with.

If the last owner drags their feet, you have to wait until they can get around to doing it. Maybe they sold it to someone who hasn't paid them, and that person gave it to your friend, for example. Until the last owner gets their money, they won't sign off on the title.

Worse, if the last owner says the car is stolen, you are now in possession of a stolen car. And since you went to the DMV to find out about the title, the state knows you have it. Now you have legal problems as well as an unusable car parked in your driveway. That won't last long, as the police will show up and tow it away. You still have the legal headache, however.

Answer 4

If he doesn't have the title,he can't legally give or sell it to you.

He needs to apply to the DMV for an abandoned title. Each state has a procedure for this. Typically it takes a couple of months at least. Once he gets the title in his name, he just signs it over to you.

Unless he is willing to do this, do NOT accept the vehicle! It could be stolen and you could be arrested for receiving stolen property!

Answer 5

you need to find out if he had the title in his name or not, if not don't take it. We bought a car without a title, found out that the person who he had bought it from (he never titled it) moved, and we were out of luck. Without a title it's very hard to get rid of a car unless you part it out or get someone to buy it with the hopes of getting a title somehow (your case).

Answer 6

He needs to go to the secretary of state and file a petition to get a new title. If he refuses to do this then I agree with everyone else. He shouldn't have it in the first place.

Remember, it's his responsibility to provide you with the title, and your responsibility to make sure he does or no deal.

Answer 7

If he doesn't have a title, he doesn't have legal ownership of the vehicle, so he can't give it to you. He needs to go to the DMV to get a title issued to him, THEN he can pass the car along.

Answer 8

First, make sure the car isn't stolen. IF it's not stolen, go the DMV with the person whose giving you the car, and do a change of registration.

Answer 9

Dont do it! No title = no good. For your protection. The car may have been a flood car or a total loss car... stolen....

Answer 10

apply for a lost Title in your state and hope that the car is not stolen.
