The Expert Podcast

• Discussing the common issue of buying cars without titles and the risks involved.
• Highlighting the challenges people face when trying to obtain a title for a vehicle.

• The Risks:
  • Many people call daily asking about buying cars without titles, but this is not recommended.
  • There’s a chance you may never be able to get a title for the car.
  • Not all cars are eligible for a title, and there's no way to know in advance.
• Possible Obstacles to Getting a Title:
  • Open Liens: If there’s a lien on the car, it could prevent getting a title. Methods to release liens are available but are not always 100% effective.
  • Parts-Only or Junk Cars: These cars are not eligible for titles. It’s different from salvage vehicles, which could be eligible with proper inspection.
  • Back Taxes or Unpaid Fees: Cars with unpaid registration or penalties could have their titles blocked at the DMV.
  • Claims from Previous Owners: If the car went through probate or is part of a will, the title could be affected.
• Challenges in Title Searches:
  • Limited Information from Carfax/VIN Searches: While services like Carfax and online VIN checks provide some details, they do not show liens or all claims. These databases are not government records and may have inaccuracies.
  • Salvage vs. Junk Titles: These terms can be confused, and it's important to understand the difference between the two.
• Conclusion:
  • Official Position: Do not buy cars without titles unless you’re prepared to accept it as a gamble. It’s a risk that may not always pay off.
