getting a new title

[mayhem148]

OK i got this care that i inherited from my dad. its a 67 dodge coronet. i was going to make it a drag car but that is totally against my rules. (cars are made for transportation right) somebody tryed to whiteout the buyers name on the title and now its voided.(they signed it but never notarized it) i found this company called broadway title. i cant get anybody from there to call me are return my calls. has anybody used them before. or do you know a way that i can get a new title for my car. i have no idea where the original owner is so its out of the question. any help would be appreciated.

I've used them,with no problems.They do not not send you a title though,they give you paper work from I beleive Alabama,which you take to your DMV to get a title.It worked fine,had no issues with them.Ron

Broadway will send you paper work from Georga or Nevada. Be ready for the state to tell you they do not honor a bill of sale from non title states. NC has been doing this for about a year. The are also going back and checking cars that used a title service. I dont know what they would have done if my 34 Ford truck had still been in the USA.

Can somebody explain how this company works? I am curious about the whole process

[Restomod]

You sell them your car (on paper) then for a set price you buy itback from them on a bill of sale from a non title state.

[Young Gun]

what if you live in a title state, like texas for example

[Restomod]

They dont care BUT like I said above the DMV is catching on to this.......

[mayhem148]

thanks for the info Resto. i kinda

[mayhem148]

(oops)_ i kinda figured that i would run into some sort of a problem. louisana is pretty strict on having a title for the vehicle. i dont really like saleing somebody my car rather theyre a buisness or not. sounds like i will run into a problem with the dmv having just a bill of sale. i think i will just find a junk car with a title and use my imagination to get it legal.

[Restomod]

That could be even more trouble.........

You may want to look into a bonded title, or possibly a lost title if your father was the previous owner.

[mayhem148]

it could lead to trouble but you would be surprised at how many rides are out there in that situation. i have a friend that went through 7 chevy trucks in a year and never even turned in the plate. 7 79 stepsides with the same registration. one glove box to the other.(its only illegal if you get caught.) you would have to know the dude though. hes not right.

i have heard of a bonded title. what exactly is that.

[CRCRFT78]

What if you lien sale the vehicle? Wouldn't that work in getting you a title?

[mayhem148]

i think i will look into that CRCRFT.

[derekf]

Wait, whose name is the title in? Your father's? Wouldn't the paperwork from the estate name you as the new owner and would that not be sufficient to take to the DMV?

[Damon777]

As far as I understand, a bonded title is a new one that is marked for some period of time. If there are no other claims to the title within that time period, you get a clean title. I have been asking around and that's the story I have gotten (for MN, anyway)

[derekf]

That's the way it works in Texas too. You do have to put up a substantial sum of money to bond the title though (varies by value of car)

[Damon777]

I was told it's 1.5 times the value of the car. That's fine with me, I'm starting with a basket case. I'll probably get the bonded title this summer and sit on it for 3 years until the clean title comes.

[MuscleRodz]

If the car is not in your dad's name, then file a storage lien on the car. After 90 days, they should send a release to you to obtain a new title. Much easier to do if you have a buddy in the wrecker service.

[Restomod]

IIRC here in NC the car has to be road worthy to be bonded.......
