460brevill · March 20th, 2008, 08:26 AM

cant you get an abandoned car title with paperwork from police?

1981capri · March 20th, 2008, 02:55 PM

I am hoping that I can get it done with the paper work that I have....I have the police paper work and the bill of sale

CooterTKE · March 20th, 2008, 03:25 PM

best bet is to go to DMV and ask them.

1981capri · March 20th, 2008, 05:01 PM

You would think it would be that easy...but both DMV's that I have asked have been giving me the run around

460brevill · March 21st, 2008, 08:08 AM

460brevill · March 21st, 2008, 09:14 AM

you can take that chance,but think about what happens if you get caught.same as a stolen car.

1981capri · April 11th, 2008, 01:03 PM

Hey, still need help with getting this car of mine titled.......how can I pull it off

HMUSN · April 11th, 2008, 01:05 PM

run the vin through the dmv and request a replacement title.

then the dmv will have to verify that you own the car legally by the police departments paperwork or whatever else you have

1981capri · April 11th, 2008, 01:10 PM

Can I do that even if the vehilce is no longer in teh state that I got it from

HMUSN · April 11th, 2008, 01:10 PM

yes. the dmv records "should" be nation wide

460brevill · April 11th, 2008, 04:32 PM

dmv ticket records are natiowide.title records are not.i had a car abandoned at my shop and got an abandoned car title.told them it had been there a year.

MustangOne · April 11th, 2008, 10:33 PM

Here in Oklahome we have what is Called Title 42, What it does is for us garages. When a customer dosnt pay for there car we can owned there car after 30 days for storage and labor /Part due. then in 60 das we get a clean Oklahoma Title. Might ask your local garage/Towing service to see what they do in Fl.

Good luck

460brevill · April 12th, 2008, 07:44 AM

in va we have to send a registered letter to last owner.if it comes back unanswered we get a title.if we have to go to court they have option to pay the bill and get the car back.

1981capri · April 12th, 2008, 10:50 AM

I spent three years in Oklahoma...I lived in moore just off Sooner....that's a cool place wish I was still there...I'll look into what Florida does.....Thanks

65 B/FX · April 14th, 2008, 01:22 AM

I had this problem last week. I called the DMV of the state it was last titled in and had them walk me thru the process ONLINE to get the proper paperwork to get a search done by them. You need to prove that no one is trying to find it and that no one has reported it stolen. It cost 2 dollars and a stamp. and I got an official paper back in the mail saying the car fell out of their data base, perfect and all legal! Thats it! I took that paper to the DMV and told them my situation, and before I knew it I had plates and a temp title/regis. Got the real title about 3 weeks later. Hope that helps.

1981capri · April 14th, 2008, 12:56 PM

Thanks that really help alot....I'll call the maryland DMV and see what they say.....

sneakygt91 · April 23rd, 2008, 08:05 PM
