I just bought a non running 87 t2. the car was last registered in 2000 and have been sitting in a field since then. there have been 3 title transfers since then and I am having alot of trouble registering under my name. I have the original title signed by the owner, but there had been release of liability sent from it an the car changed hands from that owner, to another owner, to another owner, and to mr. however DMV doesn't have the record for that an refuses to give me contact info for those people. is there anything I could do to get the car under my name so the state recognizes it or am I stuck parting it?

 

track car! just trailer it all day err day

 

might b the best bet but I still want a 32 chassis under my name...

 

wow, sounds complicated but i think you should ask the dmv for that one, but i agree, track car it is.....too tempting

 

i had a similar problem with my supra, but it all depends on luck and who you talk to really


I think what you need to do is have all the transfer records and tell them how much you bought the car (should be like very low price) so that they will transfer it in your name

 

just do all the paper work through AAA and your done bro F&^$% the drama...

 

^^ He sounds like he knows what's up! hehehe

Do they do Test Only smog as well?

 

Start over. Go to AAA and see whats really on record. Worst case scenario put a lien on the car. That will cost your 50-80 bucks. Once the lien goes through then car is your's. But more then likely AAA or a helpful DMV rep will solve your problem.

If you have the signed title on hand though you shouldn't have any problems. Maybe fees we're recieved on the car to transfer but you can just tell them that the buyer backed out and the original owner kept the car. That will all be explained with a statement of facts. Simple stuff..... Just gotta be nice and talk to the people that are "HELPING" you.

 

we'll. so I tried it with DMV and appsently the care has a salvage etention and a vin vetification and brake and lamp on it. the car is also cutently non running so I don't know how I'm going to do that...

 

they asked u to do a break and lamp inspection?

......****

 

AAA is so much better.. DMV sucks!
