Well this is the end....

Went to the DMV today and they told me theres nothing they can do. I have to either get the bill of sale from when the kid i bought it from got it and pay his taxes and mine or go back to the last registered owner in New York... Either way I'm screwed
So you guys can say your I told you so's, and ask what its like to have the worlds greatest parts car, and poke fun at me all you want, cause I know its coming....

I'm screwed now because of my construction class at the end of every school day, we leave school and sometimes stay at the job 1-2 hours past the end of school. And with no car I have to catch a ride with a buddy, so now I cant get an afterschool job because I have no transportation from the job site to work.

Anyone around RI know were theres a solid late 80's thunderbird, mustang, or mark sitting with a title..... Doesn't have to run, look pretty, have a motor, just has to be SOLID and have a title....

Heres the kicker, i just paid this months insurance payment too... :toilet:

carfax only has a list of REGISTERED owners
at LEAST the last 2 owners have not registered the car......... And I have the kids address, but the likely hood that he has a bill of sale for a car he sold for 540 bucks I think is very little...

Wanna do a paper transaction and let me register it in NH, then "sell" it back to you? I feel bad - I can't believe they're being so thick-headed about this. I'm thinking "man, give the kid a break!"

Should be able to do a title search,If it comes back clean you can probably have a title issued to you.But if it doesn't you may be be in trouble.one example would be recieving stolen property.

Do a title search.It might be cheaper to pay the back taxes that are owed on the car than to buy another car and go through the whole process again.Gather your thoughts,and don't give up.There's always a way to make it happen.

Buy a $200 Mark with a good VIN and get a bill of sale, then register that one. Slap the VIN on your "good" Mark and you're good to go. You could even part out the $200 Mark and make more than your money back :hick:

PS: I'm (mostly) kidding...

they didnt give me any other options, and rhode island doesnt do bonded titles, they never heard of such a thing......
I really dont know what to do now...
