Can I get the new title for my car in Hawaii w/ the old title I just paid off in CA? I have just paid off all the car loan. I checked the loan balance at the loan company and they confermed the loan balance is $0. Now, they are signing and sending the tile to me by mail. This is good. By the way, I am moving to Hawaii w/ this car soon. However, I am not sure if I could receive the new title from CA-DMV before moving date. I was wondering if it's possible for me to bring the old title ,which is coming from the loan company, to Hawaii DMV directory after moving and get the new title from Hawaii DMV. The title arrived from the loan company to me yesterday. I see the loan company's signature at the bottom-right area of the certificate of title. This field says "Signature releasea interest in vehicle." Will Hawaii DMV accept it as the evidence of 100% of my ownership of this vehicle?

Can you re-register a previously registered old car without possessing a physical title? I have a car that's been sitting in my driveway for 2 years.

How can I get a title to an old car? I have a car that has been sitting in my driveway since 1972. I got the car when I was running a garage. A guy from out of town brought the car in for repairs. When he came after the car he could not pay for the repairs and I would not release it until it was payed for. Seven months later I closed the business and the car was still there.

What does the DMV require I bring for switching license plates to a different car? I live in upstate New York.

I feel like the DMV is going to require something else and search engines aren't cutting it.

Old car Vehicle Title? I'm interested in buying used car from owner but i've been unfortunate lately -- i've been coming across people whose name does not match the name on the title. They always claim that they had the title signed by the owner, but i have no way of proving if its the truth. For example, i tried to buy a 1986 pickup truck (Value less than 800) and i ask the guy if he's the owner and he said yes, and then i asked if he's name matches the name on the title and then he said no. He said the title was signed by the last owner. In order words, after i pay him he will give me a title that's not in his name, but legally signed by owner. I'm asking you for advise here because i've come across a dealer in the same scenerio. They say their business is legal. And the car in question is not in their name, but the title is signed by the previous owner. Is it really legal? How can i protect myself from future problems of purchasing a stolen car. Can i take such title to DMV and get it titled? advise

Anybody know anything about how car titles work and if I can null a previous one? Here's the deal. I had my title for my car and I signed it not knowing that it meant that anyone could just get my title and make it in their name. According to the records of the DMV, the title is still mine but I lost my title so it's somewhere out there in the streets cause I left it at a copy place and when I went to go get it, someone took it. Can I go to the DMV, get a new title, and the old title will be neutralized? Is there anyway I can get that title that's wandering out there cancelled? PLEASE HELP
Can I get my old car back- since the company does not have the title? I traded in my car in June to lease a car. I did not have the title for my car because i still owed on it. After purchasing the car the car dealer has been calling me because the lien holder did not have the title. They have not been able to get a title for the vehicle. My old car was sold in July without a title. Today I recieved a title from the state of missouri- it's a new title for my old car- I did not request this. I guess the car company did it. So basically I just want my old car back because I am not really enjoying my new car. I am having a lot of issues with it. What are my options? Can they just sale a car without having a title for it.

Is it possible to transfer plates in my name to a new car my father will be financing for me? My father is assisting me in purchasing a new car. I have good credit and can get a rate of 6%, but my father has pristine credit and can get a rate of 1.99% for 60 months.

I am technically a dependent but want to donate a car (title in my name): is the deduction possible? My old car is basically on its last legs; it is probably worth $1k-$1.5k and I would probably have an easier time donating it than selling it because of the heavy engine work required. My question is: am I able to receive any sort of credit/deduction from the donation? Technically I am a dependent of my mother, who lives in Tennessee, until I finish school next year. Would she be able to get the deduction (she itemizes) if I donate it here in Virginia (the title is in my name)? Thanks
How can i change over the title of an out-of-state car, if the car is totaled in an accident? We brought the car to a new state, signed the back of the old title, then the car was involved in an accident and totaled and we have already gotten a total loss check for it. Now the insurance company says we need to change the title to be titled in the new state. Is this possible? The form says it must be inspected to get the title, but if we no longer have the car how can this work? I should have explained: the insurance company already has the title. they are telling me they will send it back to me so i can get it retitiled in the new state. The car was just changing ownership within a family, but to a new state, so the back was signed by the new owner. then the acciedent happened. we got an insurance check already, and now they are saying it has to be retitiled in the new state. the insurance company is sending the title back to us to try to get the dmv to change the title to this state. The car is probably in a salvage yard somewhere, but the last we saw of it was over three weeks ago.

Did Texas not issue titles on vehicles older than X amount of years? I need to prove to my DMV that Texas didnt issue titles on older cars.

If I can have a print out from the DMV website, showing they didnt issue title on older vehicles, this would be perfect, unfortunately I cant seem to locate that.... Thanks.
Auto Insurance: Does the auto insurance have to be in the name of the car owner? My friend is being positioned overseas for 3 years by his company. He has an older car that is paid off. He is allowing me to use it while he is away. I have to have it insured in my name but the car is titled in his name. He will cancel his insurance once I get mine.
