Another title issue..car from ct

[Punkmaster 98]

Purchased a new canvas to replace my 92. This car was just painted so for what i would have paid to fix the damage to my own car it was cheaper to buy this one. The car was purchased by a friend of mine but never driven during his ownership except on and off the trailer. The man who sold him the car never re titled it in Ct so the title is in the previous sellers name. The guy who sold the car to my friend signed the "buyer" spot on the title. If the previous owner whose address is on the title does not cooperate do i have any options that can still get the car in my name?

Don't know about the title situation but that is a sexy Gen 3.

Do you know a mechanic apply for a mechanics lien to obtain the title

Odd that we had a similar situation a little while back. I think you may need to contact the CT DMV.

Ive been reading this one and am currently trying to get in contact with the previous owner. No luck yet but i am patient. I have not had any luck at all talking with anyone over at the ct dmv but will try discussing it with NJ

NJ keeps getting more difficult all the time. My 2009 Silverado came out of NY and I bought it from Gateway Toyota in Toms River. NJ dmv would not take the dealer paperwork saying they didn't think the seller's signature looked legit. I think they got the truck at auction or in a multi car deal. I drove for 2-1/2 months on the temp tag and had the dealer give me a letter saying they were working on the paperwork in case I got pulled over. They went back to the dealer in NY where they got the truck and had the salesman sign a notarized letter saying he witnessed the owner sign the title. The owner would not cooperate and sign a notarized letter for some reason. Gateway finally went through a service in NJ that was able to get it titled in my name. I'll see if I can find the service but that title is pretty screwed up now so a duplicate title from CT might be your only option if the original seller will cooperate. After what I went through, I wouldn't mess around with it.

I think Gateway went through NJ CAR but I'm not sure if individuals can use it.

It's probably worth a call to them to see what they say.

the physical messed up title is easy to get around, just dont bring it. All the owners info is in the computers. One of the clerks helping me actually told me that

After some digging around online i was able to find the previous owner who signed the title on facebook. Took him about 3 weeks before he saw my message. we went back and forth about the car and how it was sold 3 years ago. He agreed that after the holidays are over he will go to the dmv to get a bill of sale and get it notorized. The only issue now is he says the does not have an old registration. Is that something the DMV would have on record?

After 2 trips to Ct and standing in line for 6 hrs with the previous owner we were able to re register the car. Following the procedure on the nj dmv site i was able to get the title this morning. :)

6hrs. holy chit. I just got my Nj drivers license renewed and was the only person there.

The NJMVC makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. God bless you.

Nice!

When you are ready for new wheels, exhaust, or detailing products - give us a shout.

[unstable bob gable]

Nice man. Dayum sexy car!

[Punkmaster 98]

yeh the dmv in CT is by far the worst i have ever experienced. it took 5 min at the dmv in nj to get the title.

Actually i do have some questions. would it be best to pm you?

[WayFast84]

It all depends on the location of the DMV. I learned this when I picked up my old Formula in the middle of no where NY. Glad it's titled and officially yours, looks amazing.

[omarcamaro]

yea I just got a cobalt ss from ct. nj wouldn't let me title it here also I had to wait 2 months to get a title. the dealer in ct had to go thru a title service to take are of it
