Selling a used car question

[Decoligny]

Block and ignore. I do a signed dated Bill of Sale and meet at the tag agency to do the sale. They do that and transfer the title immediately or no deal. Your tie to the vehicle ends right then and there. I’ve had people not switch the title and still drive the vehicle around. Document and protect yourself so there’s NO possibility of recourse.

As long as you fill out a form and pay $10 to the tag agency, they will transfer it and you don’t have to hope the buyer isn’t a piece of

Oklahoma Certificate of Title Notice of Transfer. Tear off form if the title is newer than 2006 or print the form from the web. Notarized too I believe. $10 to the tag agent.

Ok so I just bought a private party used vehicle that had handicap tags. The vehicle was in Tulsa, Im in SW OKC. We met at his place and went over/under/thru it, agreed to a price, and went to the tag agency. I added it to my insurance on the app in the parking lot. We transfered the title on the spot, the fee was only $3, and I received a TEMPORARY registration, and a new license plate for it, and instead of a month decal it has a decal that says TEMPORARY. I also got 60 days to register it and pay the fees and taxes.
All that for $3.
I figured that $3 saved me a lot of headache getting the truck home on the turnpike, saved him from having to pay toll fees on something he sold (those pikepass decals are really stuck on there), and prevented me from potentially being pulled over for roaring through new unmanned toll stations with no tags.

End rambling.

You did the right thing. No telling how many miles he put on it or what kind of treatment the car has had since in his possession.

Years ago I sold my '87 Chevy Silverado to a couple who wanted a truck. I told them the transmission was all new except for the case. So, money exchanged hands and everyone was happy. They had the truck for a month and grenaded the transmission pulling a boat in overdrive, they wanted me to fix it then sell it back to them. I told them they have had the truck a month and they should know better than to tow in overdrive. I hung up and never heard another word about it.

Tell them to pound sand. I sold a Jeep to a buddy of mine years ago. His wife was/is a first class raging BEEOTCH. I had a new engine put in it and cleaned it spotless inside and out. I would have given it to my own son. He gave the Jeep to his deadbeat adult stepson who never popped the hood or checked the oil. Sho-nuff, deadbeat ran the radiator dry a year later. She made him call me wanting me to do something.

We are still friends but it's just different.....

Tell him to go ahead and have his attorney call you. Also, tell him that any attorney stupid enough to take his case would be a raging moron and that you need some more 'joke material'.

Regarding the attorney threat, don't sweat it. Back a good number of years ago, our youngest son was working a booth at the state fair for his employer. He had borrowed a car from us, and because he was used to using a manual transmission and our car was an automatic, he had a VERY minor bump with the minivan in front of him in the long line of vehicles with people going home. At the time of the accident, the occupants of the minivan made no claim as to injuries nor damage to their vehicle.

A week or two later, we get a letter, claiming to be from an attorney, with such poor spelling and grammar that it was actually funny. The wife drove the car with the letter to our insurance agent. They took one look at the front of our car and the letter and said for us to not worry about it.

That was the end of the story.

I’m not worried about it, just wondering why a guy as old as him would even threaten me with that ?surely he knows better ??
