If a car has no title but the current owner has a bill of sale, how do you go about getting a title?

Question

The car is an 02 Audi a6 in colorado

Answer 1

Have the "current owner" give you the signed over title when you pay for the car.  If all you got was a bill of sale, how do you know who the current owner is?  Registration alone would not tell you if there are is a lien on the vehicle (loan), or could differ from the owner (lease company, relative, etc.).

Answer 2

You don't.  Only the PERSON ON THE TITLE, can request a replacement title.

Given that the seller does NOT have a title, the person selling is probably NOT on the title and he/she is NOT the LEGAL OWNER.

Title = certificate of ownership.  No title = no ownership.

Anybody can just print up a bill of sale, including a car thief.

Stay away from this car.  It is nothing but trouble.  There are tons of other cars out there.

Good Luck....

Answer 3

THE OWNER has to go to the DMV and if they really "own it" then they can get themselves a replacement title...

or of you BOTH go to the DMV, and they can prove they own it, then they can  transfer the title to you right there.

Answer 4

You have to take the bill of sale to the tag office and apply for a title you will also need car insurance info for that car and a valid drivers license. they will mail you your title. Thats how it works in Gerogia I went through that process a few monthes ago.

Answer 5

You cannot get a title with only a bill of sale.  The seller of the car must provide the buyer with a merchantable title.  If he can't do that, I would never, ever give him a red cent because you will never legally own the vehicle
