anyone have expertise in the dmv? i sold my evo to a dealership last month and they told me they would take care of all the paper work.. well i called the dmv to make sure that they sent the release of liability in and the dmv said they didn't receive anything, should i just forget about it?

 

go follow up with that dealership. Was it a reputible one? Or a mom and pop dealer?

You need to take care of it otherwise you'll be liable for anything that vehicle is involved in. I know from experiance.

 

You can complete the release of liability on line

they are a very well known dealership.. i called in today, they lady that handles all the dmv stuff said she sent it in but the dmv lags sometimes up to 60 days.. she told me to do it online and not to worry because most likely the car will be sold soon

 

always, always, fill out a release of liability form once you get rid of a car, even if the other party tells you they'll do it. you just need your own basic info and the other party's info, and you can do it online--jlimquest linked you to it. DO IT! it takes 5 minutes.

 

when i sold my z3 for the evo and then the evo for the Z, i made sure the dealership gave me a copy of the release of liability forms.

+1 about the dmv, they lag & every time i'm there, my blood pressure spikes

 

i have a copy of the release of liabilty form.. its like 3x5 card size its different from the standard release of liability that is on the pink slip.. my problem was that the dmv didnt receive it

 

they'll get it eventually. everything moves slowly at the dmv
