That is generally the case, as far as I know dealers do not "title" vehicles in any state. The title is issued by the government. There are some states where the license plate follows the car, however. A COV, Certificate of Origin, Vehicle, is sent to the dealership from the manufacture, or vehicle modifier with the invoice, that is surrendered to the state government entity that issues the original title. A vehicle can not be sold untill the dealership possess the COV "Dioclese" <NONE> wrote in message news:WOidnQMPoJI1AzPUnZ2dnUVZ_vWdnZ2d (AT) earthlink (DOT) com... Prior to my purchase, my prior, privately and individual owned 08 Focus with 925 miles on it had dealer plates on it. The county tax office showed the prior private owner with title in lien as part of its history. Texas does not issue physical titles with lien any longer. CARFAX corroborated with that history with no discrepancies. License plates, at least in Texas, are part of the registration process. In Texas, license plates have nothing directly to do with the title of the vehicle. The registration process does have bearing on the title of the vehcle. In Texas, a new car dealer sends in the paperwork to DPS for title reassignment and to the county tax assessor for registration of the vehicle in behalf of the new owner. The new car dealer does not title a vehicle, ever. -- Dave CDOs are how we got here. A modified version, new taxes in the future, is how Congress will get us out?

That was because the dealer do not title cars until they are sold. He uses dealer plates. Just think, if you lived in Pennsylvania you could get "Classic" plates for your ten year old car, that is no longer production.

In Texas, the registered owner may retain their license plates at sale as a seller option. Otherwise, the plates do go with the vehicle. You said below, in a prior reply, that "dealer do not title cars until they are sold". Heaviily implying that they do title cars after they are sold. The seller does not ever title a vehicle as part of condition after the sale. The seller does not title the vehicle at all. As you astutely replied this last time. -- Dave CDOs are how we got here.

the many lies the salesman use as part of their sales tool kit. For
some reason they think that if they tell people it was the "owners
wife" that was driving the car they will feel more kindly toward the
car then if they tell them it was the parts runner vehicle for the
last three months. I went looking for an Impala (plan Jane) quite a
few years ago and the first story the salesman told me was that he
doubted they had any, they never have Impala's, only the higher end
models usually and then showed me one that "had been driven by the
owner's wife". Then when I insisted I really was only looking for low
cost Impalas he discovered they did, in fact, have a couple of them
"in back". One thing you can take to the back, if a car salesman's
lips are moving chances are he's lying to you about something.

It was a demo car driven by a Ford guy so technically its a used vehicle. * Does anyone know if I have to fill out the change of ownership card that comes in the manual and send that to Ford? As well, does anyone what the weight capacity of the LATCH child anchors are in Ford vehicles ? Thanks. |
