Im getting a 64 C10 from a friend that has been sitting on his property since the 80's. Its not his so he doesnt have the title. What is the best way to get it titled? I wasnt sure if there was an easier, better, or cheaper way than having him file for an abandoned vehicle title then transferring it to me.
Every state is a little different, probably should check with your state's DMV or whatever they call it.
Not sure how VA handles it. I know he can get a title because its his property, but wasnt sure if there was an easier way.
See if your DMV can do a title search to find the previous owner. Get him to sign a release. Or your state may have bonded titles.
My other thought is my buddy putting a mechanics lien and filing for the title. Either way it seems i havebto pay for a title twice. Going to ask DMV before I do, but wasnt sure if anyone had dealt with this before.
I was trying to say it is his property that it has been on all this time. He can file for an abandoned vehicle title.
One Search found this: http://www.ehow.com/how_7403749_abandoned-title-car-va.html or from VA DMV: https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/apps/AVP/AbandonedVehicles_FAQ.aspx Bill
I knew the abandoned vehicle process. I'm trying to see if there is a way to skip that or at least skip him titling it then I have to turn around and title it again. That site did have more insight into why that process is a hassle though.
