my van has been paid out on a couple times at this point from little traffic fender benders. The only record of it being totaled is in my filing cabinet, the stub from each check.

Is that why you moved RI lol? What year is the cut off for no title on old car buying and selling? Are you issued a title upon registering it? If not, how do you scrap it w/o a title?

part of the reason.

10 years they stop issuing you a title. If you bring something from out of state and register it, they will probably give you back the title, but its not necessary for selling the car in state, bill of sale only. They used to take the titles if the car was old though. Ive had it happen both ways. I think VT or NH have similar local laws regarding age

However, I haven't scrapped a car without a title here. There are places to take it, but I usually just put it on craigslist for 25 bucks or something and instantly a no title vehicle is taken by a shady character. They might cut them up somewhere else or something, not sure

That's cool with RI DMV, much cooler than CT and NY. I remember many years ago I had a NYC address and VT plates on my regi. All I had to do was send VT DMV a check with regi info (name address, VIN) and they sent me a regi and plates to my NY address. No insurance required back then in VT

I wonder when they stopped that? I'm sure they don't do that anymore. Ah the good old days. Lol

around here, a title is not required to scrap a car, but the vin is recorded, and checked against the stolen vehicle list before they let you drop it off.

GA also requires no title for cars over 10 years old. official bill of sale only.
