How do I junk an old car that's both in my name and someone elses (who lives in Mexico and is fine with that)?

This car was purchased when I was still a teen and my mother is also on the title. She now lives in Mexico and I'd like to junk this thing (and she's fine with that) as it's hogging driveway space. Do I have to wait until she visits to make a trip to the DMV or can I just have it hauled off?

I live in North Carolina and the car is no longer insured if that makes a difference. Thanks!How do I junk an old car that's both in my name and someone elses (who lives in Mexico and is fine with that)?
you simply call a vehicle salvage company to pick up car........you'll need keys, title or registration or just proof of ownership[you r credentials alone is sufficient; they'll still take the car].....possibly, if you don't have all car documents, a copy of your driver's license should satisfy the laws they must abide by in your state

and..........you may even receive $50-$100 or more... or tax credit if you donate the carHow do I junk an old car that's both in my name and someone elses (who lives in Mexico and is fine with that)?
Look at the title. Are your two name with "AND" or are they with "OR"?

And-means you need two signatures to make a change to the title.

OR-means only one of you needs to sign.

Sometimes "AND" can be designated by "/"

Then when you sign off on the title, phone the car hauler and give them the title. The hauler will do any paperwork necessary.

Don't forget to sign a Notice of Release of Liability and turn it in to the DMV. That's your way of making sure the DMV knows the status of the car, even if the hauler never tells them.How do I junk an old car that's both in my name and someone elses (who lives in Mexico and is fine with that)?
mail her the title, have her sign off, mail it back to you, you sign off, send the thing to the big junk yard in the sky!

How do I get the DMV from one state to send a clearance letter for me to the DMV of another state?

My traffic record in California where I reside is blemished by a traffic violation commited in North Carolina about 2 years ago. Funny thing I was nowhere near North Carolina 2 years ago, in fact I was working on an over-seas contract in the Persian Gulf. The California DMV claims that they recieved this info from the N.C. DMV and the only way they can clear it is if they recieve another letter from N.C. stating the opposite. The N.C. DMV are denying they sent any such info and are saying that my traffic record is clean and that there are no violations or convictions showing on my record. Meanwhile I continue to suffer from the black points I earned because of this, as well as the increase in my car insurance premium and the possibility of an arrest warrant issued in my name if this is not duely cleared. any advice??How do I get the DMV from one state to send a clearance letter for me to the DMV of another state?
Go on the NC DMV's website and follow the instructions for getting a driver abstract.

How do you go through buying a car off of Craigslist?

Just wanted to know the step by step procedure to buying a USED car off of Craigslist. The important parts to me are getting the car fully inspected for any faults (where to get one done in Wilmington, North Carolina), the paperwork involved with the DMV. If there is or isn't tax that is charged while transferring vehicles. I know this is a very detail intensive question, but if anyone can just link me to a general way of buying a used car through a private party, particularly over Craigslist, that would be great! Thank you for all your help!How do you go through buying a car off of Craigslist?
I personally always check for these when I ask the seller about the car:

1. Mileage

2. Engine problems

3. Transmission Problems

4. Clean title



Of course they can twist the truth a bit which make it vital to always take a look at the car in person and perhaps bring someone with you if you think you are not well versed enough about cars. Trust me, it is easy to get scammed :S

How do you go through buying a car off of Craigslist?
I have bought and sold several cars there. I am in San Francisco Bay Area and I can talk from my experience in this area.



I basically start looking for cars being sold "by owner", so you can check that option at the top of the page. If the car gives that "connfidence feeling", that is, the car has the records, is being sold by the original owner, looks clean at the pictures.....based in the description, you can feel the car is from a trusworthy source.



Next step is to negociate the price. I always use The Kelly Blue Book "Trade in value"....that's the real price of cars. People normally ask for a high price, so the idea is trying to take down that number. This can be done at the seler location, while inspecting visually the car. You'll see the person, the neighborhood and in general you will confirm that feeling of trust.



If both parties agree in a that price that you have in mind, you cn take the car for further inspections. A Carfax report would be helpful.



Make sure to check the original state ofthe car. Cars comming from upper states,normaly have a lot of rust underneath.How do you go through buying a car off of Craigslist?
I never bought a car off of craigslist. Wilmington is a huge city. My sister went to uncw. I'm in Clinton. There should be alot of auto shops, mechanics to get the car checked out before you buy it. During the test drive tell the seller you want a mechanic to look it over. Since you are paying for it, the seller should not have a problem. Make sure you know if the car have a clean title not salvage. You can pay about $20 or so for a carfax (on their website).



If you are buying a car from a non dealer(private seller) they should not add any taxes or fees. If you are buying from a dealer they might add fees, tax and tags. You just have to ask.



Also check kbb.com for a look at what the price should be around.

Craigslist have alot of scammers so be careful. Call them, email and see the car. Never fall for the overseas crap.



Any other questions contact your local dmv office. They will be glad to help you out.



Good luck
Just like if you buy a car from a Classified ad in your local paper.



you arrange a time with the seller to meet.

bring a mechanic friend with you, or have the seller bring the car to your mechanic (NOT HIS/HERS).



once you find the car to be kosher, then the seller will ask for your money; you pay, then he signs over the title and registration to you. you take these papers to the DMV and pay for registering the car in your name.



Make sure you have insurance before going to the DMV.

I bought a car from a private seller, she has signed the title, should I sign it before going to DMV?

I have just bought a car from a private seller. She has signed the title (with a notarized stamp) and has given it to me. Tomorrow, I am going to DMV for registration and getting a tag. (I live in North Carolina).



1) Should I sign the the buyer part of the title before going there? or I should sign it in front of the officers?



2) She removed her tag and the car doesn't have a tag. Isn't it a problem for registration? (Not to get pulled over by cops, I have posted a paper on the back windshield saying that I am going to DMV).



ThanksI bought a car from a private seller, she has signed the title, should I sign it before going to DMV?
It doesn't matter when you sign the title but since it's already notarized, I would sign it before going to the DMV. Don't worry about getting pulled over as long as you have a bill of sale in the vehicle.I bought a car from a private seller, she has signed the title, should I sign it before going to DMV?
no lol. think of anyway ppl could scam you by finding the title if they find the paper with your signature and hers on it. not sure about the laws in ur state but here you have a certain amount of days to get your car registered before you get in trouble with the law for having an unregistered vehicle. you can probably look the laws up online for your state.

Do i have to take drivers Ed in order to get my driving permit?

Hello there I just turned 15 and I was wondering if I had to take drivers ed. I already know how to drive and know my signals I really don't see how I have to go when I already know everything. Can't I just go to the DMV and take my test without taking drivers ed? And my state is north Carolina if that helpsDo i have to take drivers Ed in order to get my driving permit?
Hello IT@LI@N MOBSTER,



No, sorry, they won't even let you apply for a limited learner's permit if you don't go to driver's ed...

It's not only about how you drive and how everything works, but it is supposed to nurture the right attitude in you - to help you grow into a defensive, responsible and polite driver. This is particularly important for minors - as they pick up bad driving habits so quickly!

Good luck!Do i have to take drivers Ed in order to get my driving permit?
i think that it depends on where you live. where i live you can get your permit when you are 15 if you are in drivers ed and 15 1/2 if you are not in drivers ed. also you don't have to take drivers ed if you wait until you are 18 to get your license. so if you are 15 and want it join drivers ed or wait till you are 15 1/2.Do i have to take drivers Ed in order to get my driving permit?
Yes, you have to take Driver's Ed to get your driving permit at your age. You would have to be 18 to get your driving permit without taking Driver's Ed.

  • Can I return a vehicle I purchased from another state?

    Six weeks ago, I bought a used motorcycle via eBay, from North Carolina (I live in California). When I went to register the vehicle, I was told by DMV that it does not comply with CA emissions regulations and cannot be registered in this state. So now what do I do? Is the seller obligated to take it back? The title and registration is still in his name, but the financing for it is now in my name.Can I return a vehicle I purchased from another state?
    No, unless they had made illegal modifications or something like that, they have no obligation, you should have checked that before buying it. CA has stricter emissions standards that most other states for quite a few years now, it's not their responsibility to know that.



    Just put it back on ebay I would guess is your best bet.Can I return a vehicle I purchased from another state?
    No. Unless he changed something that altered the exhaust system. California is quite strict on emissions. How is the title and registration still in the previous owners name and the financing in your name? Most lenders want the title to a vehicle they finance. If you took out a personal loan, you should have the title. What I am saying is, the prevooius owner should not have it if you bought it. You are asking for trouble if this is the case.Can I return a vehicle I purchased from another state?
    No, the seller is not obligated to take the vehicle back, the fact that it won't pass California emissions isn't his fault. Why don't you find out why it doesn't comply? Maybe you could fix or adjust it so it is in compliance.
