Many states have a system to get a title for abandoned cars but few people know or use them.

I would contact the local DMV by talking to the director in person. Nobody will ever help on the phone from what I have seen.

Also you should be able to have a shop file for a mechanics lien-title for non payment for repairs in many states.

Hope it helps.


up This is the legal and legit way to do it. You do not want to be looking over your shoulder wondering if a leagl owner or Heir is going to pop up and CLAIM your investment. You can also Call the state DMV Office for added help if needed. twocents twocents popcorn
