Here in New Mexico, the plate goes with the person, not the vehicle,
so I keep the plate when I sell a vehicle.

I then tell the MVD I have sold the vehicle and give them the plate,
unless I want to re-use it.

A good example where it would be ideal to have an open title.

Unless I know the buyer, I won’ t leave a title open. If people want it that 
way, tough beans. It’s only been an issue once that I can recall, where a buyer 
didn’t want me to fully execute the title and I refused. He wasn’t happy, but 
too bad, buddy, I’m not going to do it.

They simply don't understand something like buying a car that has issues, where 
you're
not sure you're going to fix it or part it out and where you don't have time to 
make that
determination immediately.

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Correct.

The first seller just signed the title and didn’t date it. Thanks for that 
clarification - it shows you have to have some collusion on the seller’s part 
to make it happen, that, or convince them they shouldn’t date it.

So did the first seller leave the date blank on the signature line so it
would appear you just bought it from him? (Otherwise they could see months
had passed.)

Re: [MBZ] Well this is unique -- 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK 230 Roadster 2D, $650

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

In Florida, an “open title” is a title held by the seller in the previous 
owner’s name. In other words, I buy a car from you but I never sign the title 
and register the car. Theoretically, it’s illegal, as most states (like 
Florida) require you to title and register a car within 30 days of purchase. 
They won’t come after you, as they have no idea you’ve done it since there’s no 
record of the sale, but when/if you go to title/register the car if your name 
would come up as the buyer you would get dinged.

The 99 E320 4Matic had an open title. The guy I bought it from had bought it 
several months before from the original owner. He never registered it or 
insured it (I assume) as he hadn’t been driving it. When I titled it the DMV 
“saw” that it was a purchase from the original owner to me. The flipper I 
bought it from never played into the transaction. As far as the state knows I 
bought it from the first owner and was titling it immediately following the 
purchase.
