Bear with me...
I bought a car from a friend who moved to Europe. I have a clean title and never had time to Transfer ownership with my name through the DMV. So i have Clean Pink Slip ready to sign.
Now the trick. I never use this car except for once where I had to ;-) and got pulled over . The Cop gave be a Fix-it ticket to simply register the car (which registration was expired) by a certain date. I parked the car in my garage. Left the country for a few months and completely forgot about the ticket.
I found two notices from my local court for no show at my return. With simply a notice to Pay (No warrant or anything thank god). It's quite a prohibitive amount right now though. Over $1000.
So this affect my DL record until I can pay obviously. So can't really drive (any car) or go to the DMV until I get this resolved.That's a separate Issue
My question is can I sell that car to a third party now. Knowing that the car is not registered but more importantly had the history I've just mentioned. My name doesn't appear on the Title but the Ticket has the Car Licence Plate with the Ticket associate with it.
Bottom line does my personal DMV issue with this car prevents me from selling it, knowing my name is not on the original Title and can potentially be just handed over.
Thank you for your help.
