Needs a jump or a new battery? If the PO is too lazy|cheap to do either, then the car isn't worth shit. Moreover, since some of the panels look out of wack; most likely a beat title.

Also; an L for throwing depots in the mix

I'm currently looking to buy a car where the owner lost the title. Is there any way of knowing they're the owners of the car or something? or is it just a matter of getting that form filled out by them and taking it to the DMV? Should they come with me?

I bought my laguna coupe with no title from a kid who was selling it for his uncle. The DMV required me to have a duplicate/transfer title form signed by the registered owner (his uncle) releasing the car to me. They didn’t really care about the bill of sale.

The form below has options for “transfer of title with duplicate form”. The seller fills out the first few sections, then you complete the rest.

However, if you are able to go through the process of getting the title without this form let me know cause that would help me a bunch.

I'm in the process of this right now.

First thing, you can check to see if the car is stolen/has a salvage title/etc by looking it up in one of the databases listed here (they all have different prices from $2-$15 dollars):

https://www.vehiclehistory.gov/nmvtis_vehiclehistory.html

Alternately, I would have the seller go to the DMV or AAA and fill out the paperwork there. They have access to the DMV computers and can do most transactions with a much shorter wait time. They will also be able to tell you if there is a lien on the car and if it's a salvage title. All you would need is the VIN, License Plate number, and the current registered owner with ID.

For the car to be legally sold, you will need to fill out CA REG 262 (VEHICLE/VESSEL TRANSFER AND REASSIGNMENT FORM), it is the yellow form and is only available at the DMV/AAA due to a watermark on the back. The DMV does not recognize any other forms as legitimate bills of sale. DMV/AAA should be able to explain how to fill out the form. The essential part is that the seller signs Section 4.

To replace the title, you will need to fill out CA REG 227 (APPLICATION FOR PAPERLESS OR DUPLICATE TITLE), it is the pink form. You will fill it out stating the title is lost and that the seller wants to sell the car to you. The essential part is that the seller signs Section 3 (lost Title) and Section 4 (selling the car to you).

Lemme know if you have any questions!
