Walk It Through: The Used Car Title
The seller's assignment at delivery, the buyer's application promptly after, and a dealer's 7 business days.
A neighbor sells a used sedan to a coworker and hands over the keys in the driveway.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One private sale and one dealer sale. Fees, taxes, odometer statements and the dealer licensing rules are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
