I have a friend of mine that is looking at an OT Avanti in Florida. My question is simply, does Florida use a title for transfer of ownership or is the registration used to transfer ownership?
Title. Although....I bought a 53 Buick with no papers when I lived in Miami. I took the vin to the courthouse and they ran the numbers. Since it had not been registered within the last 10 years, they sent me a Florida legit title in the mail. Took a week or so but it was worth it.
if the title was issued with in the last 12 yrs all that is needed is to sign and date it. it does not need a notary stamp
One thing to look into is that the date of sale on the title is current. I have a rig out here that I have the title to that is signed but dated for when the original owner sold it and it changed hands twice before I got it and it has sat here for over ten years I can't remember what the penalty for being late changing it into my name was the last time I checked but it was more than I paid for it. When it is done being a storage unit for my flathead and attending parts it will end up on it's last ride on a roll back but right now it is a cheap, dry storage shed with wheels.
