I just went thru this selling to a guy in Ohio....I think I represented the car properly and I thought I had the paperwork proper.... but we ran into a real problem...I never put the car in my name in California.... and to do that I needed to have the car inspected in California, the California DMV would not accept an inspection from Ohio..so the title from the Previous Owner would not work as my name was on it...
What a mess...and I felt really bad for the guy in Ohio who wanted to license the car.. seemed like the two DMV offices did not want to work with us...I tried everything I could....no go... Finally I think the guy in Ohio just lied to his DMV and told them he had owned it for lots of years and had no paperwork on it.... I felt terrible, sure hope I never meet that guy....he owes me a black eye..
