title search in Florida
I bought my car about a year and a half ago in Florida. Is it possible for Florida to do a title search of past owners since new? I was at a Mall Hot-Rod gathering in Maryville, TN and heard this today.
BTW, I think this could be my 600th post. :party:

Re: title search in Florida (74 vert)
I don't think so, although I haven't tried this myself. I think you might get perhaps the most recent owner but might be difficult after that.
Why do I say this? Well, I do live in Fla. And I've dealt with the DMV here!! :rolleyes:
Good Luck, Mark

Re: title search in Florida (74 vert)
You can try contacting the Florida DMV for registration history. I did it here with my 71. Glad I did, it was worth the $10 it cost me. Only problem is if your vette was in a different state before, you will have to do it for each state it was in.... I think some states don't even do it....
Other than that.... :nonod:

Florida did a check for me and I think it cost $15.00 Go to their web site and there is a application to fill out.
They were very nice and even called me on the phone twice.
My state of Alabama want give you any information because of privacy laws.

Re: title search in Florida (marky mark)
Well, I stand corrected. I guess I underestimated the services offered by the DMV. Well, then again they were going to sell everyone's drivers license info last year but the Gov'nr said to stop it.
Anyway, my apologies. I guess you can see my hostility towards them coming thru.
Good luck in your search.
Regards, Mark

Mark.... Notice that nobody said it was easy or pleasant to deal with these people, just that you could do it. The copies I got for a 58 corvette I had were absolutely terrible. Very dark, half off the paper, blurry. I don' like dealing whit the DMV. I hate even going to get tags so I do it by mail if possible. :rant:
