Title Question?

Question:
Hey, here's the story... I bought a car two years ago (private sale through ebay) and I never got a title with it. I know that's kind of sketchy and you shouldn't really go ahead with that, but whatever. In any case, now I need to sell this car and I guess I'll have a hard time doing so because of the lack of a title. If I sell the car to a dealer, will they require that I have one? And if so, is there any way I can get a new title?

Answers:

I am looking at buying a 06 Golf. It is a DEMO car. Has anybody had any serious problems with demos?

First off, is there a lien on the car? If so, you would not have gotten the title as it would have gone to the lender.

Recommendation on buying a used car...?

If you paid cash: You will have to find the owner who's name is on the title and they have to sign it and give it to you. If they don't have the title, they must file for a duplicate and a dealership would most likely have that person sign a power of attorney so when the title comes in, they will be able to sell it themselves. It can sometimes be a difficult thing to accomplish, but the laws are slightly different per state. I had to go through this myself a few years ago when I went to title a car and it had an erasure mark I didn't notice, so I had to track the name on the title and he had to apply for a duplicate title. Did you at least get a signed bill of sale? Is it registered? If you need further help, you can contact me through www.theautoevaluator.com and click on contact us and choose tech help. You have a unique situation so I would want to make sure that you don't get burned on this. I hope this helps.
