Got a strange call from Az DPS and consequently from the Henderson Nev. PD about my Tahoe being found abandoned in the desert and disabled. I was like WTF!! I asked What the deal was, that I had sold it and they told me it was never registered and it is legally still registered to me. They want me to come to Nev with my License and to get paperwork from the DMV because it is supposedly still mine. I am dumbfounded right now, trippin big time.

I am on my way to the DMV and see what the deal is and I'm supposed to get pictures emailed to me on the condition of the Hoe later on tonight..

Damn!!!

Well maybe you can get it and have both vehicles for the price of 1! Hopefully it's not too horribly damaged and you can sell it again or something. Definitely a weird call to get though. Keep us posted on how it pans out.

Maybe you can give some charitable donations to someone with the same year/color tahoe as that one.

I had a similar situation happen a few years back, I sold a car and the buyer never registered or insured it and almost a year later I got a letter saying the city where it was found was going to issue a warrant for my arrest. The buyer racked up all kind of parking tickets and the car was towed and they were trying to charge me with the fees.
Every since then when I sell a vehicle I make a copy of the title/bill of sale after we both sign and date it just so I have proof.

Hey you never know, you might be able to get some parts off and make more money since it's still technically yours. Being that they said it's disabled I doubt it's in good enough condition to sell it again.

Damn, good luck man! Does AZ have a "Release of Liability" attached to the title? Here in CA the top section of the title is filled out and sent into the DMV by the seller to notify the DMV that it has been sold....that way any parking tickets or accidents have no way of getting back to you....keep us posted on what happens though :)

Wow this is weird!
I say you try and contact the guy who bought it, the truck could have either been stolen from him or he could have abandoned the truck because of some random reason.

That happened to a buddy of mine a couple of years ago, he sold his nissan car to a guy that I guess never registered the car in his own name, the car was found abandoned on the freeway in the next state, the towing company found the last owner which was my friend and said that he was responsible for the bill even though my buddy still had the bill of sale for when he sold it!! Long story short since he never went to the DMV within the 30 days after he sold it to tell them that the car was no longer his, that he was still the owner and responsible party for the car! Cost him $400 to get the car from the tow company and he later sold the car for another $2000 (he originally sold it for $2600). This will work out for ya if it isn't totaled or damaged too badly, you will get to sell it again, a 2 for 1!!

So in AZ when you sell a vehicle you sell it with the plates? Some states require yu to turn in or transfer your plates if you no longer own the vehicle. Now I see why, lesson learned for all. What's with all the suggestions about selling it again or taking parts off from it, certainly not the way to go if you already in some potential trouble or misunderstanding.
