Sold a car and the guy never transferred the title, now there's a lien and I can't get tag renewed?
My mom is on the title if my car. We did that so we could use her tag instead of paying for a new one because I was a first time car owner. Went to renew and there's a lien on the tag and my mom's license because of a car we sold in 2013. At first we thought it was one car, but turned out to be my brothers Honda that we sold to the same guy. We don't have a bill of sale, can't even find the guy we sold it to, but he never transferred the title, 10 months later, still in my mom's name. So now she owes $816 and I can't renew my tag. She says I won't be able to purchase a new tag in my name because she's on my title. Is that true? Would I be able to remove her from the title? Or am I screwed?
Find out from DMV what to do, YOU r not the first to have this happen… Or pay a laywer to figger it… Years ago my girlfriend sold her car and left the plates /tags on it, next thing she knows is her drivers lic is suspended for thw 50 parking tickets the new owner got, took months and money to get it right
Go in person to the DMV with your mother to see how you can get this straightened out. The problem is, after you sold it back in 2013, you or your mother should have notified the car was sold, so there would be no liability on you.
Odds are, you or your mother will get stuck on the $816, but, the biggest problem is, that if this car is in an accident, or gets tickets, your mom will get billed.
Hope this works out for you somehow.
- How to title a motorbike that has no title or bill of sale? I have a Honda CT70 that was purchased at an auction many years ago. I do not have a bill of sale and the bike was never titled because it was never street legal. I would like to restore it and get it titled to ride around town. Any help is appreciated. And I live in Wisconsin as well.
- Is there any headlight halos sold individually? I'm retrofitting Acura tsx projectors in my Honda Accord headlights. I want an led halo to go around the projectors like a bmw. Can I buy just a plastic halo to cut and I'll put my leds in it? It would have to fit the size of my projector though.
- Locked key in trunk, but have my title. Can I get a new key? I have a Honda Accord 2013 Sport. I locked my only key in the trunk. I have my car title and probably my insurance card (had a duplicate). Would they make me a key? How much would they charge? Or, should I just get a locksmith? I eventually need a spare key, so I thought that was a great idea. I called Honda asking what I should do and they told me to get a locksmith. They didn't even mention that they could make me a spare.
- How much would it be to register a vehicle with all the tag fees and everything included, in FL? I'm buying a car from a person from craiglist and I want to know the estimate of how much it will be to get it on the road. It's going to be an old Honda accord.
