Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / December 2006Old car but no title?
I have an old 1989 American car that I inherited (actually it was just given to me) from a relative. The car was owned by the husband's company which originally purchased the car and had the title. The company has long ago been dissolved and nobody has the title for it anymore. It seems to be a catch 22 situation as the car is registered in my relative's name (not the problem) and I'd like to sell the car, or even donate it for that matter, but don't have a title. I don't think I can obtain a new title as the company is no longer in business and the company owner is very ill and doesn't even remember about the car. It still runs well, has only 65,000 miles. I suppose I can have it junked, eventually. Thoughts? Thanks. Sally >I have an old 1989 American car that I inherited (actually it was just >given to me) from a relative.

I would call the DMV and ask them. If you are a AAA member, they should be able help you with the paperwork. Probably what you have to do depends on where you live.

If there is no one to sign off on the 'sale', then you can go before a JP or notary public and swear out a statement outlining the 'abandoned vehicle's' Or I think they call it 'unsigned registration' story and get a new registration in your name. We recently did this for an abandoned van in our driveway.
