Carmax buys cars and they they resell it at an auction most likely to one of those local small dealers. They only keep newer cars so I know your car was sold at auction to another dealer. Dealers never have to register the cars with the dmv. So if it gets sold again by that dealer and THAT person never gets a tag for it, you will be the last person to have tagged the vehicle.

The Form is called the DMV form 138 "Seller's Release of Liability" and once it is sent to the DMV. you are off the hook.

Every certificate of title in California contains one, it is a perforated form actually attached to the title ("Pink Slip") itself

You are supposed to note the name of buyer, or if a dealer, the odometer reading and date of sale, your name and address, and sign it.

If you trade the car in at a dealer, the dealer does it and charges you a $55 "DMV processing fee" for it.

I sold several cars over the years, donated one, and traded one in, and gave one to a friend for free, and NEVER had a problem

ever.
