actually as has been described, it is a pretty easy process in WA state & has been described pretty accurately...
with one caveat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) You need the WSP to inspect the vehicle and provide you a form that is carried back to the DOL verifying that the car hasn't been tampered with and it doesn't show up on their "Hot Sheet". Only problem is they wont inspect a car unless its complete, it doesnt have to run but they insist it has the motor trans interior ect. installed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Catch 22. If you PU a roller like this, you have to roll the dice finish the car then have it instpected just so you can get a registration and a opportunity to get the title transferred into your name after 3 yrs .. IF the owner of record doesnt come out of the woodwork and make a claim on the car during that time frame. |

QUOTE(luskesq @ Aug 31 2011, 07:26 AM)  In Ca another approach is to do a lien sale based on storage. Notice is given to the PO and unless they step up with $ to cover storage it is yours. Careful with that! The lien sale can easily go through with no red flags even if the vehicle is reported stolen! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I know someone who did jail-time after a "clean" lien sale. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

I called the local police department and gave them the vin# and they verified within 3 minutes that it was clean, (not stolen). I gave the officers information to them at the DMV along with his phone #. Paid the back registration( $375) and two weeks later got a title in my name. This was in Sacramento Ca. , but it was very easily done.
