I don't think the DMV varies that much from town to town,or state to state for that matter.I contacted the local DMV,and was advised to do what I did.I guess they told me to do something "illegal"?
There was no "bill of sale".That's something you give someone when there is no title.There was no notary papers,which there are several copies of(one of which I could have kept).The state of Kentucky has done away with the three or four copy "notary paper",several years ago.Now all you do is sign the back of the title,and it's up to the buyer to finish it up,unless of course,it can be taken to the DMV right then and there,which couldn't be done in this case,as it was a weekend.
He dropped the ball,not me,so don't blame me for his incompetence.Would ANY of you loan me YOUR car for a month or so,to drive as my own,doing whatever I wanted in it?Do you think for a second,that you would NOT be liable?The person the vehicle is registered to is liable for the vehicle.End of story.
