Bidder Beware!!!

If the title had someone else's name on it that wouldn't necessarily stop me from getting it. If the seller was willing to go to the dmv to help clear it up I'd do the deal.

Marla, what was it that has you still shaking? I, WE gotta know. You dangles Tue carrot and we followed, let us know where this is going please.
 
Update #2... The seller(s), has a emailed statement from the OP's husband stating they are not interested in purchasing the car. I say seller(s) because I have talked to one person, have bank account with "daughter's" info and am getting ebay messages from at least 2 different authors. I suspect 2 different message authors because some are simple one sentence messages and others are longer than needed. I have asked for a "clean and clear" title. I have been offered email statements and "promises" of "full refund" if I have a problem with the "author" of "not interested party" email statement.
The seller has sold a number of vehicles on ebay, and has great feedback.
I'll post more info later.
Thanks for all the feedback.

Printed out copies of "email statements" won't be worth the paper it's printed on to the blue hair at your DMV. Especially if you are trying to transfer title from another state. See my previous email on a notarized "Statement of Fact". I think you are dealing with a hornets nest......

If you bought the car from the actual owner, it is doable. If the seller never transferred the title into thier name, file a complaint, because that gets ugly.

First, the titled owner needs to be agreable to the sale and be willing to spend a day at the tax collectors office. They need to file for a replacement title and then be willing to forward it to you.

If the seller is the owner, he/she need just get a replacement title or....ask for the form that states the "purchaser" never took possesion of the car.

PITA!
 
That depends on the state.... Jersey is fine even if a title hadn't switched in ten years from the original sale

What are the rules in Nevada? In Jersy that seller would need to apply for a new title. My guess is that they never titled it in their name to begin with. In that case it would be the previous owner that would have to apply. Besides the fact that the seller needs a clean clean title per eBay rules, it's the sellers responsibility to clear this up. I wouldn't transfer a dime until that's done.

Yes, but once you put ink to paper in the "purchasers" area, it's the original titled owner that has to fix it.
 
If the titled owner signs it.... And everything else is blank it can all be filled in later.....and much MUCH later

Absolutely, I've had titles for years after they have been signed, even dated I think you can get by, but the way I've been reading this thread is that a purchasers name has been filled in, and it's not the most recent buyer!

Years ago with my first car I filled in the current mileage, not realizing the odometer had been tampered with and spun back. When I got to the DMV the clerk noticed the titled milage was greater than the actual I had entered. Took weeks to get that straightened out. At 17 that was an eternity!
 
Every time I step into the DMV I end up just wanting to

I guess Marlabuck bowed out of the discussion......... If the title was filled out in there Her who ever's name the best thing to do is have them get it. I guess it was a very scary experience cause the people freaked her out so much that she stayed and filled the title out........ Maybe they can help you.........
 
The DMV here in Jersey has stepped up their game. Things aren't as bad as they used to be....actually, pretty good
 
We have third party (private) MVD's here. You pay a small fee for each transaction but no waiting or hassles.

Same here. The one near me is called Gahanna License Agency & it is extremely well run. No bureaucrats eating ham sandwiches like the ones run by the states.
 
If you buy a car or truck in OK, you have 30 days to get it transferred over, or you pay a one-dollar-per-day penalty after that, up to $200 on top of the normal transfer fee, title fee, and 3.5% excise tax. Also, if you buy in OK and take the vehicle out-of-state, you'd better pay attention to the 30 days, too...why? Because when you go to title the car in your state, Oklahoma will refuse to release the OK title to your state until the OK Tax Commission is happy. What they'll do is tell the buyer to get the OK seller acquire a duplicate title, then re-sign and notarize it to the out-of-state buyer.

Oh, and if you bring a car INTO OK and try that "sitting on the title" thing and go to get an OK title and tag after 30 days, that penalty also applies to titles from out-of-state, too!

I know this has little to do with the Nevada car in question, but some of you really live in lax states, if you can sit on a title like some of you claim to do.

I refuse to buy an untitled vehicle, unless it can be verified without a doubt that the car was last registered in a state that did not require a title, AND come with the tag and/or registration, along with a notarized bill of sale.

If it is not dated how do they know?
