I am interested in buying a car but the guy said he lost the title??? how can i get it back or get something to register?PLSE HELP!!!

 

you usually have to send away to the state dmv for it. there are forms on the state site to fill out to recieve another one. i lost one for one of my cars and i think it was $40 bucks to get another mailed out to me.

 

Do not give the guy any money until he has the title to give to you.

Took me 2 seconds in google to find out. The owner should be doing this, not you.. if he won't, run away likely scam.

Run, don't walk, away until the current owner produces a valid title....

 

I've bought cars without a title before. This is as long as the vehicle is registered in their name and they can show you some other proof that they own it. I dont know about Oregon but in California, you can just fill out a REG 282 which is a vehicle/vessel transfer form (bill of sale). You should not have any issues.

 

i see thanks for info D idk i guess i should Run Awy from that foo lol

 

I've been in this position as a buyer and a seller in CA. When I bought the car it was a major headache because the previous owner never finished the paperwork so the title was still under the previous previous owner, so I had to send a bunch of crap via certified mail so they could sign the forms to release interest. I guess that address was invalid as it was returned to me a month later, went missing for two weeks, then showed up in my mailbox one random sunny day.

I then sold this car recently without the title because I left it at home and I was selling the car at school. It's been a week and the buyer hasn't called cursing me out, at least not yet.

I don't recommend it, they should apply for a duplicate title if they are serious about selling the car.
