Transferring a vehicle’s title to a new owner begins with a check with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). During this process, the DMV will determine whether the vehicle has any liens against it. If there are liens, they must be paid off before the title is transferred.
Title Transfer
Electronic vehicle title transfer allows sellers and buyers to transfer ownership of a vehicle electronically. To make the process simpler and less complicated, you can choose to ask for help from tag and title services. Using a secure online system, qualified sellers and buyers can complete the entire transaction without visiting an MVD office. However, this process has some limitations, such as the number of qualified vehicles. In addition, the electronic transfer does not use a paper title. Instead, a digital copy of the title is kept in a secure online database.
US light-vehicle sales remain in lower gear as the third quarter winds down, while slumping consumer sentiment threatens a further downshift.
Cox Automotive on Wednesday cut its full-year new-vehicle sales outlook to 13.7 million — down more than 9 percent from 2021 and the industry’s lowest tally in a decade.
It’s the third time this year Cox has lowered its sales forecast, which initially stood at 16 million vehicles.
Most automakers are expected to release third-quarter US sales results on Monday and Tuesday.
Charlie Chesbrough, Cox Automotive senior economist, said COVID-related production disruptions and the war in Ukraine scuttled the anticipated improvement in inventories at the start of the year.
Now the industry faces a new wrinkle.
“It seems likely that much of the pent-up demand from limited supply is quickly disappearing as high interest rates eat away at vehicle buyers’ willingness and ability to purchase,” Chesbrough said.

“Anybody that’s dealing with electric cars right now is getting a lot of questions about the battery, and making folks feel comfortable about the battery health is really important to selling them,” ADESA President John Hammer told Automotive News. Since adding the feature, ADESA has seen a 7 to 9 percent lift in conversion — when cars offered in auction channels actually sell — on vehicles with Range Score badging compared with similar vehicles that don’t have it, Hammer said. ADASA did not disclose when it started using the badging and gathering that data.
“The other thing that we’ve seen is a lift in the prices that we get for them,” Hammer said. “We’re seeing $4,000 to $7,000 increases.”
Developing a more comprehensive battery health diagnostic tool is also a priority for Manheim, the largest US vehicle auction company.

LAS VEGAS – Ambitious targets for electric vehicle sales – in California or nationwide – will be hard to achieve by 2030 or 2035, Akio Toyoda told reporters Thursday.
Regarding California’s rule calling for a ban on the sale of gasoline-burning vehicles by 2035, the Toyota Motor Corp. CEO said: “Realistically speaking, it seems rather difficult to really achieve that.”
He added that a potential national goal of 50 percent zero-emission vehicles by 2030 would be “very difficult.”
As a global automaker serving 200 countries, Toyota must take into account the wide variety of conditions in those various markets, including the needs of the 1 billion or so people who don’t have reliable access to electricity.

Europe’s energy crisis offers a hard lesson on the risks of focusing on one fuel source — in the case of the electric-vehicle industry, battery cells, Markus Heyn, head of mobility services for Robert Bosch, told the Stuttgarter Zeitung.
“We are currently seeing the consequences of the gas shortage for Germany and Europe because we prepared too few alternatives,” Heyn, who is also a board member of the supplier, told the paper.
“In the automotive industry, we should use this occasion to ask ourselves what we can do if there should ever be too few battery cells.”
In that case, he said, “everyone would certainly like to see an alternative to battery power. But this will only exist if we have prepared it in good time.”
Battery alternatives that need to be considered, Heyn told the paper, include fuel cells that use hydrogen and oxygen to power electric motors.
