I bought the car over ten years ago and put the bill of sale away for safe keeping. Now I cannot locate it. Does anyone know if I can leagally get a new one or get the vehicle registered with out the bill of sale?

Offhand, I'd say that probably depends on what state you're in (and what mood the person at the DMV is in).

Hi Don, I always use AAA for my DMV work. They want to help you. They ask for an engine verfication and a statement of facts about the lost paper work and where it has been stored and if driven. Thats it. I have done two cars that way and its a piece of cake. One trip and a few bucks. Of course I said that it has NOT been driven and stored on my property all the time.

Maryland has a legal procedure to get a title for any vehicle that has been abandoned on your property for more than 30 days. Other states may have a similar procedure.

yes, there are companies that will give you a new bill of sale for a fee.

I hope you donot live in Illinois. As I used Broadway Title Co. and to date have spent over 1700.00 and still do not have a title and registration for a 1925 Todor and a 1915 Speedster. It has been a complete nightmare. Lol

Does anyone know how difficult it is to put a T on the road in New York State? How about insurance and all that? My wife is telling me that this stuff is necessary, although I don't think it'll really make it run any better. What about the inspection?

Carson, I live in IL. I had a problem with ours. The owner I bought it from never titled the car. The previous owners were hard to find. I went to the currency exchange. I had to fax a document for someone to sign and they did the rest. I never go to the DMV anymore for that. AAA and others are much easier.

Don,
I know of someone in a similar situation years ago. To simplify the red tape he just sold it outright to a friend, and ended up buying it back the next week with of course a bill of sale. He had a police officer verify the serial number, and with the S/N verification and bill of sale went to the Secertary of States Office (DMV to some of you) and got a title.

Broadway Title has been investigated repeatedly by state and federal authorities in the past couple years and the owner convicted of fraud a few times. If they are still in business you should stay away from them unless you have a desire to experience jail from the inside.

Best bet is to go to your state DMV and tell them the truth.
