The guy is floating the title. I would check with the motor vehicle department in MA be sure. The DMV registrars in your state will have the exact information you are looking for, and what options are available to you. Chances are everything will be fine, but it's nice to have peace of mind that nothing will happen.

Thanks. I'm sure it'll all work out but we would like that piece of mind.

There is more to it than that.
If it was a warranty issue, all he would need to do is sell it "as is".
That would protect him.

I think he is trying to sell a car without ever showing up as having had the car. As such, whatever he sells the car for, goes under the table. Also, not liable for taxes. His not registering it is not her fault. Her not having an agreement is generally not an issue as the title normally provides evidence of interest in the property. Her not getting a copy of the title signed by him would not necessarily ease her worries. What would that prove? That she sold it? It can be argued anyone can do that. Can't she be someone alleging she sold it, show a copy of the title yet end up being the one that signed both names to allege she sold it?

There is possibility the vehicle could be intended to file fraudulent bodily injury claims. They can use it to allegedly have had four passengers who were injured as result of a staged loss with another vehicle and make claims against the other vehicle's carrier. Many more schemes out there than just this one.

If that vehicle is to be put on the road, it will have to be registered. If it is registered, it will have to be titled to the registrant. In between, doubt it will be on the road to cause her concern. However, I am sure all this can vary by state. I wouldn't lose sleep over it though.

Probably wants to wholesale it and avoid the Lemon Law.

Just learned something about Florida and this issue.
My son just traded in his car recently, as did my dad.
Went to renew dad's registration on line and saw he still had his old vehicle associated with him, as I did also with me.
Saw a hyperlink that takes you to a form to complete if you have sold the vehicle to notify the state it is no longer yours.
Downloaded the form and am preparing to complete it for both dad and myself.
Check and see if your state has the same thing.

thanks so much for the info Carlos!

Just an update on this situation....My gf called and nagged sooo much that eventually the people gave up, wrote us a sale agreement with key words "sold as is" and also gave us a signed copy of the title...

Things we learned....
1) Fill everything out and don't try to give a stranger a break.
2) Nag them until they break down and give in!
