What is the name of your state? Indiana
I sold a car to what used to be a friend. When he took possession of the car in Aug. he got it on a Saturday. I left the plates on it and signed the title over thinking it would be done soon. There are conflicting reports as to if the car is even still running but at any rate I went yesterday and retrieved the plates to the car. However I know the car is still registered in my name. If they were to take this car and have an accident or get pulled over for illegal plates(if they put different ones on) can I still be held liable? I asked a lady at the DMV and her answer was "I don't think so." I explained to her that if I were to file for a lost title it would still come back to me so by state standards I still own the car. I'm just trying to make sure my rear is covered. I have no proof of payment(which there was none.. another story) or a copy of the signed title.
