EndStar Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 i bought my z back in early june. i was given a title, but it wasn't in the current owners name. it was from tennesse. so when i went to SOS, after waiting forever of course, they said because its an out of state title from 2 owners ago, i cant put it in my name. so i call up the PO and he wil meet me to get it sorted out. Well, that didnt even go right, he was 45 minutes late meeting me at SOS, then was told he has to get the title in the mail, he can sign it off, then mail it to me. so we do that, he mails it. guess what! FedEx loses the package :angry: so here i am 4 1/2 months later, still no title. :sweat: who owns a car for 2 years and never puts the title in their name??? :blink: Tennesse owner --> PO --> Me. is the history that i know.

EastBay521 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 put a lien on that bitch. or do a lost title if there was no record of the car being registered in your state go down and say you lost the title the car was given to you. It isn't hard especially with old cars from out of state.atleast in cali it isn't... Quote Link to comment

Dat Lurka Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Been waiting on a speed boat title since 2005. Tracked the old man down a month ago and he's actively searching for it. He's in his mid 80's now. The boats been sitting in the back of my shop this whole time. It's full of owl pellets and shit. Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I use a registration service. They have been great. It costs $250 for their service but so far it has paid off. They come to me, they do all the paperwork and unless it's a truck and has to be weighed, I never have to go anywhere to do anything. One truck I have had $1700 of back fees, they got it down to $40. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Yeah I'm waiting on a title as well. My mom lost the one to my 210. It's been a month or so that a replacement was requested. You know they cashed the check right away though. F'ing DMV. Quote Link to comment
EndStar Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Yeah I'm waiting on a title as well. My mom lost the one to my 210. It's been a month or so that a replacement was requested. You know they cashed the check right away though. F'ing DMV. He got the first one in a week, the after a couple I asked, and said he sent it, looked it up, was lost. So now it's been about a month since he requested for lost title and all thay Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 One time I went to DMV and told them the truth...the guy was a deadbeat and he wouldn't get me the title. They had me fill out and sign an affidavit/statement of facts, then they gave me the title right then and there. Try that. Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hmm, maybe I'll tell them my mom is a senile old bat who lost my title. Think that'll work? It's the truth :angel: Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 If you have direct contact with the person who sold it to you, or rather, the person it's currently registered to, you ought to be able to have them file for a lost title. You may be able to initiate the paperwork without bringing her along, but chances are you'll need her signature at least. I have made up people before and titled cars without paperwork. You just make sure your signature and handwriting are not the same as the other (fictional) person. I know it's stretching the limits of what's legal, but it's all in the intent...if you bought the car legally and are merely trying to inject some cash into the local government, where's the harm? Now if you are clearly intending to defraud, that's something I would not try. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 My mom just let me know that the title has finally shown up. I think we've been waiting 2 months :sneaky: Quote Link to comment

rxzy280zx Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 geeez that sucks. my car hasn't been registered for about 9 years so I have to deal with those fees. And I live in California so good luck to me right. Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I hate it when people don't put a vehicle in their name and then lose the title. They caused the problem but can't help. If it was in their name and they lost it they can meet you at the DMW and sign it over without the title or get a Lieu of Title. Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 geeez that sucks. my car hasn't been registered for about 9 years so I have to deal with those fees. And I live in California so good luck to me right. Your friendly clerk at any CA DMV has total authority to bargain with you or waive fees altogether. Go in and make an offer they can't refuse.

EndStar Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 so after months i got it. he ordered a title, but it was sent to the wrong address, so it got lost... then he re-ordered it, somehow said it made its way to germany to his parents house there??? no idea. filed for lost title, got an instant title, we finally met, i got the copy of a title and brought it to local SOS, and just got my official title yesterday! so relieved because i am doing so much work to the car haha Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Not a good Idea to work on a vehicle until you get a clear title! My son's Toyota pickup was stolen and sold to a "poor sole" at a Southern California street corner meet. The buyer proceeded to install a new engine and other improvements. Only after spending all that money did he try to register the truck. The CHP promptly recognised the "stolen vehicle" alert and my son got his truck and its new engine back no charge except for the towing fee! Whitch he promptly covered by renewing his AAA coverage! Be careful! Quote Link to comment
