Default Have you seen my old car?

If you have feel free to punch the current douche-bag owner in the face.
I sold the car last year and he obviously hasn't transferred the title because I'm getting toll tickets in the mail.
I was wondering if there was anything I could do?

It's a 99 ex with JDM B16 swap
I miss it which and getting tickets in the mail doesn't help

Do you have proof you sold it to the guy, like a bill of sale?

Nope, I don't know what I was thinking when I only made him a bill of sale.

When you sold the car, you supposed to go to the DMV and release your name from the title. All the instructions are on the pink slip.

Oklahoma is a little different.
I went and had it notarized and that's all they had me do.

There is a phone number on the ticket I'm going to call Monday and see if anything can be done.

Or, if you're in Texas, you just fill out a "vtr-346" and release any and all liability.

I had this happen to me when I sold my '99 Si to the new owner in OK. Apparently it was caught by toll booth cameras in DFW and the new owner still hadn't transferred the title but I just had them look up this document and cleared me of any responsibility.

I went thru this already..i was getting fines from Houston and it was outrageous fines ,just give that toll place a call and let them know that you don't own this vehicle anymore and they should guide you on what to do. shouldn't be no worries cause this happens all the time. that's why when i sell my cars now i take my plates and date my titles.

Is it sad that I 100% agree with doing this, if the guy can't transfer the title to his name then he don't deserve the car. Take your **** back!

how would he report it stolen? the owner has a bill of sale and a notarized title from the seller. that is the stupidest idea ever.

Hmmm, it would be sweet if this is true..

I bet the guy doesn't have the bill of sale and chances are he lost the title too.
He couldn't drive a standard when he bought it so I'm scared to see what it looks like
