NEED SOME LEGAL HELP: release of liability - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

repda916 · 06-05-2009, 06:47 PM

pretty much sold a car (240) Took the car off insurance but never did release of liability b.c. new owner said he was moving and didnt know the address

So 4 months later i get a letter saying the car was "stolen" and now in the tow yard. Trying to make me pay the fees.

Im 17 dont have that money.
would the records of me taking the car off the insurance be enough to get me out of this? what am i to do?

Typically when you sell a car, you should print out a Bill of Sale and have them sign it. That way you have a record of the sale and the new owner's signature for the same thing.

Yup just tell them that it's no longer your car and they can go ahead and do a lien sale on it if they want. But still try to get together all of the paperwork showing that you sold the car and show them.
