    Dumping a car with no title?

    My friend's car has been at my house for 1.5 years because he kept losing the title and couldn't sell it to a junkyard. Since I can't get a hold of him, what is my best option for getting rid of a car that neither he, nor I have the title for? It's a POS '87 Subaru GL that is probably too far gone to be worth anything, I just want it off my property, no money.

    Can I just have a towing company take it away?

      Are you sure the scrap yards won't take it? Cause the ones around here have you fill out a bunch of paper work and pay you a little less then normal for it if it don't have a title.

        There are CL scrappers that will take it for free.

              Just park it on the street side, it's gonna get towed away eventually.
              They will bill the registered owner.

                  Do you want to just get rid of the car? Why can't he file for a lost title?

                      Had a similar situation at a house I was renting with 4 other gear heads.

                      We pushed the car out into the street a few streets away and it got towed away pretty quick. My name wasn't attached to it so I didn't really care, and obviously the "PO" didn't give a fuck. This was a parts car by the way.

                      One day the idea just came to me and my buddies and I made it happen!

                          Dude, those GLs are badass. Never stop running. My buddies gl had a broken crank, and it ran for 2 days before we changed the motor. It was still running when we pulled it. If its 4wd then find some way to get a title for it, and make it your winter beater. They can go anywhere.

                              It needs a clutch and probably needs a bit of a tune up-it hasn't been driven in a year and a half. The body is pretty straight but the interior is kind of trashed. If somebody wanted it for a track car they can pm me
