[Chrysler300] Re: Get a clear title

[RAKFAR@xxxxxxx]

            Perhaps  I was insufficiently clear.  I didn't say the service 
I tried (which I  found in the Pontiac club's "Smoke Signals" publication) 
provided me with a New  York TITLE, I said "New York DOCUMENTS", by which I 
meant "registration in lieu  of title".
 
            While  I am no expert, I have been through this a few times 
over the past three  decades, and this is how these so-called "title services" 
seem to  work:  They don't actually provide you with a title per se; 
instead, they  take your information and get your car registered in a "non-title 
state".   That is, a state that uses registrations "in lieu of titles" for 
(typically)  pre-1980 vehicles.  Such states include (or used to include) New 
York,  Alabama, Maine, Alaska, and maybe others, though some may have changed 
by  now.
 
            In  your case you had a Pennsylvania TITLE, which is fine for 
California.  My  car had no actual title, New York or otherwise.  It seems 
that just as  California no longer accepts a Bill of Sale (which they used to, 
accompanied by  an affidavit or "statement of facts"), they no longer 
accept out-of-state  "registrations in lieu of titles".
 
            The  reason for this appears to be concerns about theft and 
fraud, which someone  else on the list discussed.

Something is not adding up here. Last year I bought my 2006 300C  from
Pennsylvania, with a Pennsylvania title, and had no problem  registering it
in California. I would like to hear more about exactly why  California did
not accept New York's documentation, there must be more to  the story.
