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!

This is why I love r3v. Went to AAA and they got me both of those forms. Got the owner to fill them out and now my title is on the way :)

Who's else (besides MacGyver and I) is going to RadWood this Sunday?

I've entered/registered my Peugeot and have never been MORE excited for a car show.

Also- found out today that my coworker/cubicle neighbor at work is going, and his buddy is one of the dude's who founded the event.

[McGyver]

I have a San Lorrenzo, Berkeley, and Martinez friends coming. Probably all meeting in Berkeley. So if anyone else in the East Bay wants to meet and roll together, that would be Rad[wood].

Gotta talk to my girlfriend. I agreed to walk with her and Playstation in the Pride parade, so depending on what time that is, I may be able to make it.

Did you name your dog Playstation or something?

[jpod999]

I’ll probably be there, might be with my wife and baby. Probably not taking my car.

Sina, who from DWA does your coworker know?

I think his name is Rich, or Rick? I'm yet to meet him.

Hope you, the lady and the little one are doing well!

Nice seeing a lot of you guys at Radwood today. Had a great time, except for my Peugeot developing a frustrating misfire which I have to now troubleshoot. Also super sunburned and exhausted haha.
