I'm in sort of an odd predicament and I want to see if anyone here has had to deal with anything similar. Here's the deal:
I live in Missouri and I just bought a '74 914 from a guy who was going to sell it for parts. I bought it cheap because of this. He bought it from another guy who bought it to sell it for parts. The title was not transferred either time. So, the title now has the "original" (as of 1987ish) on the front and the "next" owner (as of 2002) on the back as the buyer. I am in possession of the title, but it doesn't do me much good in it's current state. I contacted the original owner, who then contacted the state DMV. The DMV told him that he could not simply apply for a replacement title, as every car the car changed hands the title should have been transferred - each sale was not legal. So he can't help me either. He did seem willing to tell the DMV "yeah, I don't own it anymore". Luckily, the guy I bought the car from has been very willing to help throughout this whole process and will be calling the Missouri state DMV tomorrow to see what they have to say. If we can't get a clear title, the guy offered to give me my money back, so I'm not too worried about that aspect. I just don't want to have to give the car back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Anyone ever been through something like this???? |

I have have done this at the CA DMV.
I had a signed title from the original owner, signing the car over to a new second party. The bill of sale documenting the sale from the original owner to the second party. The bill of sale from the second party documenting the sale of the car to me. Took it all that to the CA DMV and transferred the title of the car to me. Of course that were some extra fees & penalties because of the time between the original sale and the sale to me. In CA it seems all you really need to do is provide enough paper work that the DMV can charge you a bunch of fees & penalties and they are happy. Jim |
