I was given a 2000 Mustang conv. from brother, I want to sell it, do i need titles in my name before sale?

I'M TOO BIG FOR THE CAR SO I'M SELLING IT FOR 7 GRAND. MY BROTHER IS THE TITLE HOLDER AND HE KNOWS I'M TRYING TO SELL IT AND IS SUPPORTIVE OF ME DOING SO. ITS A BEAUTIFUL CAR BLK/BLK CONVERT W/CHROME CUSTOM DUAL EXHAUST, CHROME SPINNING WHEELS AND MANY OTHER PERFORMANCE UPGRADES. BUT WOULD I NEED THE TITLES IN MY NAME IF MY BROTHER WILL SIGN THE TITLE/BILL OF SALES IF I GET A BUYER? I WOULD LOVE TO KEEP IT BUT I'M 6'2 , 430 POUNDS AND THE CAR IS LIKE A GO-CART TO ME AT THIS SIZE. 832 259 0474 to Sexton. 24/7

  1. I would suggest that you should get the title in your name to avoid any complications.
  2. You can't sell a vehicle that is not in your name. You can sell it FOR your brother but he would have to sign the Pink Slip and other needed paperwork. Only the registered owner can sign the paperwork necessary to transfer a vehicle NOT involved in a lien sale.
  3. you can sell it, but any payment for the car would have to be paid to your brother, and if thats a problem you can go to your local court house and file for a title exchange for a motor vehicle its about 50 dollars to do that. But if you trust your brother "sell it for him" and have hime give you all the money.
  4. I don't believe it is necessary. But your brother should be the one concerned. Because if the new owner has anything involving that car according to the title it is still his. In California you can get a form from DMV, stating that the car is sold, and that the new owner took full responsibility for it. Even though he has not bought the hard title yet, cuz' he still perhaps owes you for the car.This way the seller is protected.
  5. Technically you won't be selling the car, your brother will. It's his car, the title is in his name and he has to sign the title over to the new owner. You'll be acting as a selling agent for your brother and whatever financial arrangements you and your brother work out is between the two of you.
