getting a title in arizona
A freind of mine has just given me a 64 ford pickup, witn no title
i was wondering what is involved with getting a title for this truck in Arizona.
Too bad i cant stamp my 60 f100's serial in it cause then i could drive 2 trucks for the price of one.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Nov-01 AT 08:11 PM (EST)]Contact your motor vehicle department (DMV, MVA, whatever it's called there)
DO NOT admit to actually having the vehicle!
You first need to run a "Title Search".
Then look into the means of "Lein Selling" the vehicle to yourself for accrued storage fees.
I know in California, the process costs fifty bucks or so.
You can also apply for a "Lost Title" in some states.
But first you need to find out what the local law IS.
And the place to start is whatever motor vehicle registry operates in Arizona.
There are also places to surf to on the net. You should check under "Arizona State" or "Arizona Government" to see what info you can turn up.
It may be simpler than you realise, or on the other hand you may find out why your friend "GAVE" the truck away....
-Luck to ya, man
Quoting myself:
"Some of my friends are the best people I ever met. And some are the worst 'pets' I've ever had..."

Heed what Greywolf says! DO NOT ADMIT to having the vehicle. If they ask, just tell them you're THINKING about purchasing it and you haven't seen it yet. I made the mistake not once, but TWICE, and lost both vehicles. One is setting right now and can't be registered, and I lost the other one to a county auction. The morons at DMV think it's their duty to prevent you from having an easy time, and will treat you like you're a proven car thief and are trying to get over on them.

You got that right! My Buddy has a girlfriend that works at DMV, in the Violations section. She says they sometimes PURPOSELY put people on "hold" just to tick them off. They sit there eating cookies and giggle, seeing how long before you hang up, or make you wait and then transfer your call to the wrong place. They do just enough to maintain their paycheck, and the rest is just a power trip. That's why they won't accept faxes, there would be a record of how slow they are.

DMV story. I hand a tranfer of title to the DMV mutt, and she says, "That looks more like 1983 than 1993, your title is suspicious, I can't process it." I'm in a hurry so I says, "how much will it cost for you to "research" the title for me?" and she says, "fifty bucks." So I hand her over a total of fifty-three dollars, she says, "Yeah, that looks like a 1993 after all," and gives me the new title and a receipt for three dollars. TRUE STORY.

It sounds more "Painless" to register it in BAJA.....
But if the worst comes -
Push the sucker out to the street, and leave it there.
The city then has it on their OWN hands, and God forbid an obstacle to traffic should appear on their books, ya know?
In Escondido California, Apartment lots were a prime place to abandon vehicles.
SURVEY SAYS: If the title isn't clear, there's a damn good reason.
Don't wish it on yourself if you can possibly avoid it.
