...and it tells me my 88 GXL was towed and that I owe $293.50 at $30 per day till I pick it up.
Problem is I don't own it any more, at least I thought I didn't.
I sold it on 1/27/07 to Robert Peare from Milwauki, Oregon. Got the online report of sale and everything to prove it.
So now I have to prove that I sold it legally and that I shouldn't owe the money right?

Also, the report that came with the notice showed the contents of the car...
2 bags of Marijuana, color green
2 Marijuana pipes, color glass

The report even has the drivers name and signature.
Sean M. Harry from Portland.

It sucks when you sell something on the forum to a member and they can't finish the deal.

 

And people think pot should be legalized. Aren't Americans already stupid enough?

Good luck getting everything sorted out.

 

Wow do you think that he never licenced and titled the car in his name...tsk tsk...sorry to hear that you have to pay man...i hope everything goes well..

 

There must be some misunderstanding then, if you submitted the online report of sale... As long as you have proof, then you shouldn't be required to pay. Go talk to your local licensing agency on Monday and ask for their advice... They can be pretty helpful sometimes just answering basic questions like this.

Your other option would be to determine if that car is WORTH $300... If it is, then you could basically buy your old car back for *that* amount and just say "screw you" to the guy who basically screwed you over by abandoning your old car without transferring ownership... ? Either way, you're in the right, so I wouldn't worry.

 

gonna have to be on tuesday..MLK day

 

erik is right on with this.
in reality you have 2 options
1. your go down and paw for it to get out of impound then you have your car back.
2 you take your bill of sale down to a sheriffs office and show them that you sold the car already, and that its not you problem it the buyers problem

 

Well....hmmm.....this is kinda funny.lol. i would go down and look in the car for the paperwork u gave m when u sold the car like title to the car etc if he never transfured the title to it and he gets pulled over chances are the paperworks going to be in the car if so than pay the 300 and take ur car back.

Or

Go down explane whats going on and see what they tell you to do.

Or

If you still have this guys phone # or whatever call m up and be like get ur car outa impound or i will and keep it. i would hate to see a nice 7 go to auction.

If the guy you sold it to is a nice guy than call m up etc but if hes useing drugs n stuff he's a louser/dumass take ur car back.

well its not my car but thats my 2 cents.

 

This happened to me a few years back. I just showed them the proof of sale and they cleared everything up. Was no hassle at all.

 

I hope so, I don't want to drive from Seattle to Portland just to show them a piece of paper, I hope I can do it from here and save myself the hassle.
Bummer, it was a good car.......
I still like FB's better.
We'll see on Tuesday.

 

I cant remeber exactly but i'm pretty sure i just did it over the phone, and maybe faxed them it was real simple. so simple i cant remeber what i had to do. If that made sence.

 

Yes, a bill of sale or an online receipt will be worthy enough. You can even forge one if you know how. Good luck!

 

take the proof of sale to the DMV along with the notice. the same type thing happened when i sold my subaru, the DMV will take it from there.

 

hey if you do have to pay for the car does that mean you get to keep the weed? :P jk

 

I would have asked the same thing back in 85'

 

wheres it at and we can go steal it back, lol.

 

This is karma for you, this is what you get for selling your 7..I am not going to sell my 7 anytime soon......

 

At the time I sold it I had 4 RX-7's, sold the 88', gave the 83' to a rotorhead that crashed his FB and now I got 2 FB's left, one for each of my daughters to have when they can drive.

 

Just call them. this has happened to me twice now. All you do is call the sherrifs office tell them you sold it and the bill of sale was processed online. All they have to do is click a few buttons on the key board and it's not your problem anymore.

 

So I have to ask?

does it come in red?

 

or purple?

or brown?

 

Update?

 

Called the Sheriff and yep, they show it was sold in Jan 07', the flunky that was doing the paper work didn't check that field, out of state and they get confused.
Faxed the BOS to them and it's no longer my problem.
Might want to watch the Portland Sheriff auctions in the next 6 months, might snag a nice 88GXL for cheap!

 

Congrats! What about the weed? haha kidding

 

glad it turned out alright i had my license plates stolen 2 years after i reported it seatle p.d sent me a bill for over 800 buck in ticket fines for a volkswagen beatle with those plates takes brains to see that a volkwagen don't look like an rx7 but thats 5.0 for you cant solve a crime to save there lives

 

did the guy who bought it ever chime in at all?
