kiznook Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 It's fairly easy in washington, but it'll take 3 years (i think) to get the actual title. In the meantime, you can register it though. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 You'll need a notarized release of interest from the last legal owner to go with that receipt. You can apply for a lost title, like Kiz said it takes three years to get the title but you can register it and drive it for those 3 years. Got the title for my jeep that way. Still have the jeep 4 years after getting the title in the mail. :D Quote Link to comment
OL YELLER Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Well I can tell ya that here in Calif. it is not "too hard".....Ray (Ray's 74) and I have done many "lost title" motorcycles, and come to think of it "Ol Yeller" was also "lost title"...as long as the vehicle doesn't show up in the DMV data base you are good to go....Just tell em you have a Bill o' sale and no title....(don't have a Bill of Sale?....oops gotta get one...even just a piece of paper that says "i sold this to you for $xx.xx ...works...)

]2eDeYe Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Used to work that way in WA. Now you have to have a notorized release of interest if you don't have the actual title. Kind of a pain, but it's a good thing if you ask me... Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 As long as James isn't involved you have a good chance of getting it... Otherwise if James is involved your basically fucked!!! Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 one good thing about georgia is you don't need a title if it's older than 84. so send all your non registered dattos to me! Quote Link to comment

brysjclue Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 this is fucking weak... i bought a 521 and have been pulled over 4 times cuz of tags and its starting to get old! the worst part is that i live in o.r. and its titled in w.a., i have never met "the last know owner" but i just got done writing the guy a letter asking him to help me. what do you guys think the chances are of the dude helping me get the title so the cop will leave alone???

Kind of a pain, but it's a good thing if you ask me... Its good and its not. Its not if the owner is long gone and you can't track them down. It is if you just drove by someones house and swiped it, but then again it would be reported and when u went to title it u would go down. However, if you had the signed release that would get you out of trouble. Seems like it works both ways Quote Link to comment

Cuts metal like mad Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I hear oregon is the place for "washing" titles... the companies that advertise out of arizona to get a title for anything use oregon to do it... Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I hear oregon is the place for "washing" titles... the companies that advertise out of arizona to get a title for anything use oregon to do it... I think my dad did something like that but he actually had to register it some where on the east coast and the title then came back clean. ;) I say the best method for getting titles is going though a lien service.

exit64 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 You can put a lien on a car yourself in OR. Going through the hoops right now to get a title for a Roadster. If you own property, declare the car abandond and charge a fee for "storage". Send a Registered Letter to the last known owner. When it comes back to you, take that to the DMV and apply for the title. Each state has their own set of requirements that need to be met. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I tried to get a title through a lean process until I found out the vehicle had illegal swapped Washington plates. Ended up from Colorado and i was screwed. Court Order was my only option and that wasn't going to happen. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 finding out the last known registered owner can be the biggest problem. if you know his name you can write out your own receipt. and you cant have anything notarized unless the last legal owner is there with you. thats the notary part. but if you have a friend that notarizes you still need the previous owners name. if you dont know it your fucked. they wont tell you at the dmv.

Although I use a service to do it. They get all the info, send all the stuff and tell me when I can take my forms to the DMV to get a title. :D Quote Link to comment

Towing companies have special privileges by law to just "aquire" a title. Its not fair at all. Not even a wrecking yard can do that. Quote Link to comment
exit64 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Tow yards do it just the way I lined out above in OR. Came straight from the horse's mouth. It's all about having that undeliverable registed letter and lien paperwork in order. Quote Link to comment
