If the seller failed to notify the DMV of the sale, and the car was never transferred to the buyer's name, the seller will be contacted by law enforcement, as the record will show the seller as the registered/legal owner of the car. You will have to show proof that you in fact sold the car, and the date that occurred. It's much easier to complete the form, and report the sale, than have to go through all of the hassle of proving innocence. If you surrendered the plates, I would assume the DMV has noted the record, and the file will show you sold the car.

You have done everything correctly and are no longer the owner of the vehicle. Problems only arise when "friendship" deals are made and you let the buyer make payments while using your plates and the vehicle is still registered to you.

No providing you complied with the regulations you are OK.
Stop worrying it is not your fault if some waster committed crime in your old vehicle.
The truth will always win.

as long as the seller can verify that he in good faith sold the car legally to the buyer, he is not liable.

No-you're good. Ownership passes as soon as you signed over the title.

no, transfer of title is all you need. make sure your insurance is cancelled on that vehicle too.
