When a dealer sells you a vehicle a 30 day clock starts on the title transfer.
When a vehicle is financed a ‘security interest’ is created on behalf of the lender. The Georgia title laws are clear about what the car dealer and lender have to do and when.
GA. Code 40-3-51 Duties of owner who creates security interest; duties of security interest holder including duty to notify other holders. If the owner creates a security interest in a vehicle:
(1) The owner shall immediately execute the application in the space provided therefor on the certificate of title or on a separate form that the commissioner prescribes, naming the holder of the security interest on the certificate and showing the name and address of the security interest holder, and shall cause the certificate, the application, and the required fee to be delivered to the security interest holder; (2) The security interest holder shall immediately cause the certificate of title and application and the required fee to be mailed or delivered to the commissioner or the commissioner’s appropriate authorized county tag agent within 30 days of the date of creation of the security interest or lien…
If the vehicle was sold for cash with no financing their are still title laws that come into play.
GA. Code 40-3-32 Assignment and warranty of title to transferee; application for new certificate of title. (a) If an owner transfers his interest in a vehicle other than by the creation of a security interest, he shall, at the time of delivery of the vehicle, execute an assignment and warranty of title to the transferee in the space provided therefor on the certificate of title or as the commissioner prescribes and cause the certificate and assignment to be delivered to the transferee. If the transferor willfully fails to deliver the properly assigned certificate of title to the transferee, the transferor shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. In addition, the transferor shall be civilly liable to the transferee for all damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees, occasioned by the transferor’s failure to comply with this subsection. (b) Except as provided in Code Section 40-3-33, the transferee, promptly after delivery to him of the vehicle and certificate of title, shall execute the application for a new certificate of title … so that the title application shall be received within 30 days from the date of the transfer of the vehicle.
Title brand salvage title, rebuilt title or flood title.
Selling a vehicle with prior collision or flood damage is a problem in Georgia. Vehicles with a prior wreck damage are unsafe for the driver. Unsafe for the occupants. And unsafe for others on road. A lot of wrecked, salvage or flood vehicles come from out of state and are bought at auto dealer auctions. No one should have to put up with being tricked into buying a vehicle with prior collision or flood damage. Georgia law allows you to demand the dealer or lender take back the vehicle and refund your money. This is called rescission or revocation. Check the title history. Title branding on a vehicle title will disclose if a Department of Motor Vehicle has “branded” the vehicle as a salvage or flood title. You should always make the seller show you the title before you sign papers. This will help prevent auto dealer fraud. The brand information refers to the type of vehicle such as flood or salvage. Branding on a title is a description of the type of title. Hiding the car title because of a bad title brand is auto dealer fraud.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
