Sold car, got money, he wont take possession

[leafincotton]

This is even more strange as I type it out.

Daughter crashed her truck and totaled it. Air bags deployed but truck still has value.

A guy in our neighborhood was driving by and offered to buy it. We struck a deal, came up with a simple contract indicating paid in full and shook hands. He paid cash and knew the truck's problems, he was planning on restoring it and flipping it.

Problem is it sits in my driveway after six weeks. he won't answer calls and won't pick it up. What are my options? I want the truck gone.

It appears the property has been abandoned.

You could take the vehicle to the buyer's address.

After abandonment of property or pursuant to a court-ordered eviction, the landlord must hold onto the tenant's property for at least 15 days and return it to the tenant at the tenant's request.

The landlord may charge moving and storage costs.

Within 5 (five) business days after eviction, the landlord must allow the tenant to retrieve clothing, documents, prescription drugs and medical equipment at no cost.

If any personal possessions have been left inside the rental unit, the landlord may say that the storage cost is the daily rent. Most landlords just want former tenants to take their possessions and will not charge moving or storage costs.

It is best to retrieve your property as soon as you can, at a time that is mutually convenient for you and the landlord.

After 15 days (with some very limited exceptions allowing for one 15-day extension), the landlord can sell your possessions or donate them to charity.

Give the post office a forwarding address because notices will be mailed to you.

That somewhat applies.

You can simply have the property towed off of your property.

But, I'd investigate what towing the (or moving the vehicle) would cost, and then take it to the buyer.



Or, you can read this and follow it to the letter:

Did you report the sale to the state? If so, if you have properly released interest in the vehicle, you could have it towed away. The new owner would have to pay the tow fees to get it back from the tow company.

If the title was transferred and he refuses to pick it up, it can likely be red tagged and towed by the city. They will charge the registered owner.

I appreciate all response, thanks to all.

If the city charges the registered owner that might still be me. I have notified the State of the sale but that whole process seems a little flimsy to me. No confirmation that the notification was recieved or aknowledged. I have decided to place a "for sale" sign on the truck hopeing that as he drives buy he might be losing his investment. This entire thing is so bizzare to me.

If you're smart, you'll immediately remove that "for sale" sign.

That could be considered a crime, or get you sued civilly.

My goodness, no one even hinted at doing that (placing a "for sale" sign on property you don't own.

Check at the title office to see who the registered owner is.
