The Back story goes as follows,Im in discussion currently with a female CAR OWNER from CA ,she sold it to a 2nd party 4 months ago,no title ,who then sold it to me as a hot potatoe .I was promised 3 or 4 times ,yes it has a title.Guy doesnt call me back after leaving 3 weeks of messages.This morning I knock on the original sellers door aftr locating her ,she was glad to help ,told the young man that the title was lost ,he said that he could take care of it.Hands around neck aND squeese later, my day was spent how to forward a lost title from California to her address,Im hoping its just a small transfer fee .Is another remedy available?I dont care to go Bonded if at all possible, IF ITS EVEN POSSIBLE.Call CA dmv .,1 phone number for the whole state leading me to believe its prison workers formed out,30 min ,to 1 hr wait,wonder what music Ill be listening too?Printed form and ready for her to sign I just dont now fees / forms of payment ,i want a smooth transfer, she could lose patience.

Im surprised you bought it without the title, good thing the paper owner is compliant. Do you have registration documents? or nothing?
how old is the car?
I suppose another option if she calls it quits for you is to sell it out of state to a title not required state after a certain age, let someone register it, then sell it back to you and provide you with a statement of title law from that state.
Then you should be able to register it, but you need someone to go through all that, and you will have all the fees and trouble they incur as well
