Title Question

[Zedder]

Pete...Have you been drinking again

It's a nice car, not a project car and it's a car that I plan on driving this summer, so I want to do everything by the book - I don't need any drama! I may need a set of eyes in the Chicago area if things work out - happy to pay for someone's time and expenses.

Thanks guys. Maybe I wasn't clear...I am attempting to buy a car that has an open title in the previous owner's name and will definitely be titling it in my name. My problem is that I will have a title in one peron's name and a receipt in another's name. That will not fly at the DMV up here...How do you guy's get around this?

I think what you need is the original bill of sale for the transaction from the titled owner to the guy you bought it from, and then another bill of sale from the guy you bought it from to you. I think that explains the lack of a title in your seller's name, sufficiently for the DMV. There has to be some chain of ownership on paper, in order to satisfy the DMV title requirements.

Yep, been drinking Methol Hydrate again...cheap thrills are hard to resist when winter weather has sixpacks of gas-line antifreeze available cheap at every corner gas station!.

Seriously I wasn't suggesting you try any trickery bringing cars through the border but only posting some interesting foolishness I've heard of here in the past..

Best of luck w/ your latest acquisition Mark!.

Must be a typo. You accidentally typed 6<font color="red">9</font> Z, Mark.

[Zedder]

LOL! You know it has to be special Andy if I bought a '69!

you cant do that in Wa, they call that title jumping and cheating the Gov out of a go with sales tax...kinda a big no no if they want they can clamp down on your rearend pretty hard over it. everyone used to do it, I dont not worth it.
