Re: selling a car

I don't have an answer for you, but I can tell you what happened to me.

I bought my SVX in June from a gentleman in Maryland. When I did, he gave me a bill of sale and the Title for the car (a New York title) signed over to a Dealership in Pennsylvania.

The State of Virginia was unhappy with the paperwork, and stated that I needed a Dealer reassignment (whatever that is).

So I tried to get a hold of the previous owner. After a few (half dozen) calls and no calls back, I took a day and drove back up to the dealer. The dealer looked at me like I had grown a third head when I asked for a dealer reassignment.

So after a couple calls to notaries, he took my information and Title (giving me a copy of it first), and said he would register the car with PA then get it signed over to me.

The Title is coming in the mail, and I am waiting impatiently...

I am sure there is a better solution, but as it's probably fairly uncommon, you'll probably need to get some notary/DMV advice.
