No new car today

Go back on Thursday late in the day, its the last day of the month and they have to meet their quotas, some will sell at cost just to meet quota and clear the lots. Car manufacturers are not happy when the dealers don't meet quotas. I would suggest going back, and the salesman who didnt want to deal with you today just ignore him, talk to another salesman and let him get the deal.

No wonder you are easily confused, you talk in circles. Once one properly transfers the title one no longer has any liability in connection with that vehicle.

To properly transfer a title, the legal owner(s) must appear with the title in front of a certified agent who requires proof that the person(s) signing is indeed the owner(s). Once ownership is proven and the title signed by the buyer and seller, a temporary certificate is issued by the authorized agent, to the buyer, and the surrendered title and notarized paperwork is sent to the state. The state mails a new title, in the new owners name, to the new owner or the lien holder if there is a lien.

If what you believe to be true were actually true anybody could do what you suggest and transfer title to your, car from you to them ;)

. Skinflint cheapskates galore. Last car I sold

I love listing a car, at a fair price, and then you get all kinda time wasters, who are too lazy to come LOOK and DRIVE the car, but they wanna give you $1,000 for it sight unseen

buncha jagoff time wasters...

last day of the month definately works, I have bought 5 or 6 cars between the 27th, and 31st over the last 15 years.

they want that "one more for the month" on their sold column

You obviously know nothing about how it works in the state of NY.

Motor vehicle laws are different in every state. That's one area that the Feds haven't gotten their meathooks into "yet". But they probably will. Funny, the Constitution only gives a few powers to the Feds -- war power to protect the nation, regulate interstate commerce which was meant to keep one state from unfairly disallowing imports from other states or charging huge tariffs, but this clause has since been bastardized thus giving the Feds power over virtually EVERYTHING. The feds created federal drug laws by invoking the interstate commerce clause. What's wrong with letting each state decide if they want certain drugs to be legal? Then if you take the drugs into a state where they are illegal, then you can get busted in THAT state. Sorry to get on my soapbox. I just hate to see all of our freedoms taken away in this race to a Big Brother type existence. I'm a libertarian. Drugs and other activities should be legal. If drugs are legal; then drugs become cheap. So if a junkie wants to go down to Walgreen's and buy 20 pounds of heroin for $30. Then he overdoses, then hell, problem solved! Ok, I'm off my soapbox now. :-)

"anybody" would have to have my title in their possesion, first. Then, he/she would have to forge my signature on it. Then he/she would go to jail. :)

Bullshit. I've bought and sold many cars and never had to appear in front of an agent or prove anything. May vary in your state, but not in any that I've lived in.

Actually I do, I've sold thousands of vehicles in NY and surrounding states and it 'works; exactly as I stated. ;)

mike hunt

Actually title laws in every state, are quite similar. The sellers signature must be verified and notarized as that of the actual owner(s) before a title can be legally transferred, period. Any other method voids that title as a instrument for transfer of ownership. ;)

mike hunt

That is exactly correct. There are plenty of 'anybodys' that have access to your VIN and title number. All they need to do is apply for a duplicate title with another address and they will have your title in their position.. Getting a title is not necessarily difficult. What prevents those 'anybodys' from actually transferring YOUR title is the fact they can not easily prove they are you when they sign the title in front of an authorized agent to have a new title issued in the name of other. That is the point of title security.

mike hunt

Ya right

mike

Quite true. I've bought and sold a number of cars in at least 5 different states and have never had to 'appear' anywhere. Some states do require seller/owner signature verification on the owner transfer section of the title, but that's what a Notary Public is for.

Similar issue: My mother-in-law passed away a year ago and was living in a nursing home at the time. We went to pick up her motorized scooter. Turns out the medical equipment rental co. had picked it up. We called and said "give us back our scooter. Our mother paid for that scooter -- like $1800 or so, from a different company." They said "it's our scooter, its serial number is on our records as a rental unit." So apparently, when they went there to fetch other equipment, they saw the scooter and wrote down the serial number of the scooter on their paperwork and thus stole our scooter. We found our sales paperwork for the scooter but the serial number wasn't listed anywhere. Word to the wise. Keep track of serial numbers on your pricey stuff. Or you might get ripped off by dumbass/unscrupulous co's. I am still pissed off about that. It's mainly the principal of the matter, not just the scooter. But having the scooter would have been nice, as we have another relative who can barely walk.

DUH a notary Public IS an authorized transfer agent. Try showing up at one WITHOUT the seller, and with the sellers section of the title already signed, and see what happens LOL

mike hunt

In Ontario (don't know about other provinces), that's how we do it. I sign my paperwork for my car over to the new buyer, and he/she takes it into a driver and vehicle center, where they change everything over and give him/her a new copy of the ownership, in his/her name.
