![]() ![]() She tells me that ND routinely purges what the DMV calls "inactive" titles and mine was apparently one of them. I tell her the car is not untitled, I have the title in my hand. The woman taps on her computer and tells me that she can't find the title and I'll have to go through the application for an untitled car (which is a PITA). I have the title, in my name, in my hand. I just went down to a ND branch DMV to get plates for one of my Belvedere's that hadn't been licensed since 1982. It just PISSES ME OFF that I have to go through all of this. I hope my rambling makes some sense to you. ![]() When I went to the tag place recently, they told me because I never registered the car, & after a certain number of years, the state of Pennsylvania puts the title in a different file & I will need "proof of ownership" to get another title for it! Ridiculous! I technically still own the car, but they are saying I need proof of ownership? The hoops I have to go through to get a title for (still technically) MY OWN CAR, that I don't even own any more. Because I never registered or insured the car, (I was in the process of doing some resto work on it) & I ended up getting a "Traumatic Brain injury" & sold the car because I wouldn't be able to work on it anymore. I had the title & gave it along with a bunch of paperwork that I got when I bought the car including the original window sticker, to my friend when I sold it to him. It's a 70 Road Runner I bought from the original owner, & had all the paperwork, including the title, transferred to me in the state of Pa. I'm kind of going through this with a car I OWNED & sold to a good friend 10 years ago & he lost the title. I honestly dont care that this cost me what it did, because I have piece of mind knowing that this important scrap of paper is now locked in my safe in my name with my address as the legal owner. I'm sure there are other solutions to this issue. Granted this cost me some money $930 to be exact, but knowing the vehicle was clean with no liens, and not stolen, I avoided the additional red tape and hassle that comes with dealing with the DPS, and all the B.S. Title showed up in my mailbox about 4 weeks later. Texas charged me $45 to do the paperwork to get a Texas title, took the transferrable registration, the vermont DMV worksheet, and vermont licence plate, and gave me a receipt. I took that document to my DMV along with the Vermont DMV worksheet from lost title solutions, and licence plate to my DMV to show I payed taxes on the car, so I was not charged twice. About 3 weeks later in the mail came a vermont licence plate, and a transferrable registration/title. All the paperwork was filled out correctly by them, and all I had to do was sign and date it, and put a check in the envelope to vermont DMV for sales tax and registration $360. They sent me the paperwork to sign and date for vermont DMV for a transferrable registration/title. The name and address of the "previous owner" that would be whoever you got the car from. What they needed from me besides my name, address, and vin#, was a picture of the hand written bill of sale for the vehicle, with a legible vin # on the bill of sale. It wasnt cheap, but wasnt super expensive either. This was gotten from a salvage yard to rebuild and would add to the layer of paperwork.Īnyhow I decided to go through a company called lost title solutions. This added another layer of red tape as I would now have an engine from a different vehicle. Being the car I needed a title for was an ex drag car, the engine was gone. The hoops you have to jump through have increased here since then including having an engine in it, and a bunch of other crap. My last title I got was a Texas bonded title. This is and can be time consuming, however it is doable, because I have done it very recently. Most of these restorable cars end up getting parted because of a lack of that special scrap of paper known as a title. Clean car that has potential, the history of it is known, but the title is missing. ![]()
