Need title info fast from Idaho pieps!

[Bubba700]

K here is my situation, have had an 02 for sale, sold and supposed to be delivering it tomorrow. Well went to pull the title out and got the titles for my other stuff but no title for the 02, searched high and low and nothing.
In Idaho we have to transfer the title so we can do our registration and all that. Does anyone know if I can just sign a bill of sale essentially signing the sled over to the buyer and then have him apply for the tittle in his name? Or do I have to send off for it, then sign it over to him and have him get a new title after I have signed mine over to him? Any info is greatly appreciated right now. Supposed to be leaving in the AM to deliver it to Missoula.

If you were selling it to an Idahoan they would have to get the title. It takes 7-10 business days to get another one.

I dont know about MOntana and their title requirments. I am betting they will need a title that they will then have to have it transferred to a MT title. If you know the buyer well and they trust you, just give them a Bill of Sale and then write something on it about the title will be sent to them in the next 30 days. They might want to withhold some cash until they recieve it and thats up to you on what to do at that point!

I have seen these situations go a million different ways with someone usually feeling like the got the shaft. Make sure to document any agreements between you and get their home address and work, home and cell phone numbers in case you have to try and track them down.

I went through this a couple of years ago here in Idaho. Unless things have changed, you will have to apply for a lost title and when you get it back sign it over to the buyer. Also needs a bill of sale. He should be able to get it registered by just using the vin # at a dealer if they will help him out. The DMV might register it if they know and trust him but IMO I would try a dealer first. Then when the title comes he can go and apply for the title and pay the taxes. This is in Idaho, i'm not sure how MT. works.
