I Left My License Plates On My Car When I Sold It. How Bad Is That?

[Monster]

im pretty sure he can get fined if he gets caught driving with your plates if he now has legal ownership of the car

but he didn't actally sign anything to make it legal.



i just gave him the title, he gave me the cash

Call the dept and tell them your tags are lost/stolen. They will remove your registration. If you do not, the buyer can rack up tickets that will legally be tied to you and be held responsible for. You can also report that the vehicle has been sold and fill out the proper paperwork. Even though you are the seller, the car will not be registered to the new owner until they turn the title in. That's why you make them go to a currency exchange with you to transfer the title right then and there. He could hold on to that title for as long as he wants and you are still legally responsible for that car.

This is the correct answer.

How did you forget to take your plates?

Happened to me. The state I am accustomed to doesnt require front plates so when I sold my car here in Chicago, I took the back and forgot to take the front plate. Fukkery ensued after that which made me say fukk Chicago and I put all my cars in my girl name.

what kind of fukkery?

what kind of fukkery?

He got tickets in my name and after I filled out the form that I was told to fill out, they never processed it and further extended the time he had to continue to get tickets. City of Chicago wants me to pay because they fukked up and never processed my information in a timely fashion. Got a letter from city attorney office saying I owe and if I dont pay, they will suspend my license and boot any car I own. I said "fukk y'all, my shyt been suspended since 2006 and put all my cars in my girl name. Y'all nikkas beat." When the time comes, I'd rather pay a lawyer $100 more than what they say I owe them to win the suit for me.

He should have to get new registration for the car and put the title in his name. When he registers the car he will either get new plates or have those under his name.

He would need a bill of sale and the title to register. If he doesn't he is in trouble.

Title transfer and registration are actually two different things. He could transfer the title and still not register the car for plates and keep the sellers. Thats why I said, report it lost/stolen. Most states actually don't require a bill of sale. So long as the buyer has the signed title, he can register the car. The bill of sale was mostly used to show them how much you paid for a vehicle so they can appropriately tax you depending on what you paid. People got hip and started having bill of sales for amounts lower than they actually paid, thus lowering the tax. The states got hip and decided to base the taxes on the year of the vehicle registered which then made them not give a shyt about a bill of sale.

so just report the plates as stolen?


or the whole car or something.

i'm guessing just the plates.

i bet if i tell the guy that i reported the plates as lost, then he won't even use them
