I'm gonna Segway off MGBURGS advice:

In Georgia,if title is not transferred to the new owner,and the vehicle is in an "At Fault" accident
(and your [what YOU THINK is your]former vehicle is at fault)YOU can be sued in civil court for all damages.

Worst case example:
You sell your automobile to someone in California (Both parties are CA residents and the vehicle is titled in CA) ...Proud new owner neglects to transfer title
and drives car to Georgia ,where he "T-Bones" a DeKalb County School bus...
He's found to be at fault in DeKalb County traffic court.
School bus driver,Kiddies Parents(and maybe DeKalb County) name you in civil
suit.
You are Soooooo screwed.Not only do you have no defense...You have to fly
6000+ miles for a court appearance (At your own expense)with no lipstick involved.
