Randy, I support your channel and love your videos. As a detailer, If I had the time, me and my coworker (he does PDR) would drive over to you from ATL with all the detailing and recon equipment and we would've gotten that Kia right. I work for an automotive reconditioning company for dealerships. 130k (something) mile Kia Forte with good bones and a good runner is worth reconditioning.

[@richroj]

I love that 1940 Chevy Randy 👍 I like the LED turn signals built into the headlights.

[@chrissiano381]

Randy when you get the title. Check the Vin via either NTSB or Kia. That car year is one that should qualify for engine replacement as miles is under 151 KM.

[@joeteeter]

I like hearing you talk and we go through ups and downs in life unfortunately for some more downs than ups

[@danielkern1110]

Randy, I saw today’s video and the Kia I hope you get all that straightened out with the car title so you can properly sell this car. I hope you get what you want out of it so you can put it up for auction again. Can’t wait for your next video possibly tomorrow i’ll talk to you later man

[@jerrylemons4065]

I purchased a Benz through copart and the driver misplaced my title. The copart rep said for $64 could get me a duplicate. Thanx for inspiring me to buy through copart. The 2000 E320 3.2 liter 6 cylinder is a dream car.

[@mexicanspec]

That is probably because they had a power of attorney on file. In this case the auction lost all the paperwork on this car including the POA.

[@doloresgonzalez6988]

Aww Randy so sad to see your 1940 Chevy go, but you got to do what's best for you. Oh and the motor sound is so awesome.

you have to watch out for power of attorney forms, you could accidently be giving them the means to clean out your bank account and take ownership of anything and every thing you own, MAKE sure any power of attorney forms are clearly stated what there allowed to do

[@fasteddy917]

I can't understand why people don't give a full measure of work especially when they have an excellent customer. Even more so when the customer has a lot of work for them. I'm surprised the auction isn't able to get the title from the cars previous owner legally. I guess it slipped past everyone given the amount of cars they handle but to dust you off like they never had anything to do with it doesn't make sense. It isn't like they never heard of you. Great video. Thank you. Hope the cars sell well and the title papers arrive.

You might have to check out the display by the rear view mirror. While you were pulling out of the garage it displayed P and when you were driving to the driveway it displayed N. Just my observation, thanks for making my day always. Mr Humble.

Hello again Neighbor! I just went through the court ordered title process in Okmulgee County in order to get the title for my 1988 Mercedes. Thankfully, my cousin is an attorney and did it for me! I’m selling the 1988 560SL tomorrow morning to peddle.

[@johnoksys7713]

Good Video Randy I Love Story Time Videos It's Like Visiting With A Friend This Is Why I Love Your Channel The Great Variety Of Videos

[@KRISH-uf6pk]

Interesting Legal point of view regarding Title. Wonder why the Auction Company would pay the previous Owner before completing the Ownership Transfer process! 🙂

[@mexicanspec]

The story was that the auction lost the title so the seller did deliver the title to them. That is why they got paid.

[@Alborn30]

When you’re selling a car through auction you give the auction the title after the sale (DEPENDS ON AUCTION PLACE) because you still technically own the vehicle until it’s sold through said auction.

[@mexicanspec]

@@Alborn30 Yes and the auction doesn't pay the seller until they turn in the title. Do you think the seller ghosted the auction while the auction owes them money?

[@patriotgarage]

​@@mexicanspecsounds like the auction company had the title and lost it internally

[@mexicanspec]

@@patriotgarage That is what randy said in the firs video he made on this.

[@DeepSouthTechie]

I really hope you get the title on the Kia soon. Also that Dodge is absolutely beautiful and that reminds me of something. I want to say thank you so much for discussing a car related subject with my sister recently who lives in Pensacola. You're a stand up guy Randy and I really appreciate it.

[@ryanravencaller]

Hey! Randy have you cleaned the filters and such on your units? I know it sounds odd but maybe you could do an update on your impressions with the units after having them this long and how hard they are to maintain! Keep up the great work and I hope you get your Kia sorted!

Randy I'd definitely leave it inside until you get a resolution on this car. Lord knows it could disappear if the (previous) owners watch the channel and know how to find AARHQ. I'll be in okc in August and would like to meet you if your not to busy lol

[@chadthecreative]

Hey Randy! One of the suggestions I was going to make was one you mentioned which is a title bond. I recently had to do it in the state of Georgia and it was fairly easy. I know different states have different processes. I had to contact a surety bond agency here, get a t22b which involves the police coming out and running the plates to ensure the vehicle wasn't stolen. The bond agency did a National vehicle history report to put with. it and to ensure it didn't have liens. I took what I had as proof of ownership, along with the bill of sale, and was able to get it done. it was 200.00 extra but it was worth it. Best of luck with the situation.

[@mikesharp8653]

What a tangled web Randy. It should be in the hands of the auction to provide a title. Sorry your going thru this, at least it seems to .be going in your favor now. If it was my car, I'd put it up for sale as soon as I got the title. One bad luck car.

[@KRISH-uf6pk]

The best option to conclude this transaction seems to be waiting for Title 42 in six weeks time and then sell the car. This way you would recover all your investment including labour and parts Randy... RK from Dubai

[@larrydouglass8948]

what's up Randy just let you know I like watching you stuff cuz I'm I'm over-the-road truck driver and and it's been kind of hard for me to watch stuff so three months after watch some of your reruns but your stuff it does make good good content

[@danielhartin7680]

Not to mention, having a title and being able to sell it you can make a huge profit, over and above what you paid for it and the parts/labor you put into it. That thing is mint.

[@alzg8779]

Randy we love ya! Find another detailer for sure. Thanks

Randy, if you haven't gotten a letter, you should get the immobilizer update on the Forte done. We got the update done on our 2016 Elantra. Takes about an hour. Make an appointment with your local dealer.

[@benjaminjenkins4985]

Loved this video and all your videos Randy..keep em coming! Hate that you are having to deal with the situation with the title. I had a similar issue years ago; bought a car, the man claimed to have the title, but could not locate it. After waiting 3 months, not able to tag the car, get it insured, or get any use of the car, I had to contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, then a bank. The bank had the title, for the man who I bought it from had used it as a lien for a loan; ultimately, the bank released the title to me and the man had to pay the lien on it. (had to use his profit from selling me the car) I hope a resolution comes soon and a title finally comes. It is a great looking car (well after it is detailed properly) and definitely a gas saver. I think it will bring a good profit once you can flip it. Good luck my friend!

[@michaelsimolke5697]

[@mexicanspec]

Randy, check the lien sale law in your state. Normally anybody that had legal possession of the vehicle can sign a work order for repairs. It doesn't have to be the registered or legal owner of the vehicle. Also in this case since there is nobody to contest the lien sale, any signature would do.

[@jennaemullins7612]

I get the frustration with this car. But sometimes you run into road blocks with ownership papers of cars like this. It goes with the turf. And sometimes (actually more than sometimes.) you don’t get the quality or workmanship expected from the product or service. That also goes with the turf.

[@stevenn4020]

If the car had financing, wouldn't the previous owner's insurance company have a copy of the title?

Especially since I know you have dirt roads around the area you live. Just saying! Love your content tho!!

[@jeromygreene8655]

Hey Randy it sounds like things are different in Oklahoma but in Nebraska I've gone through this process before. I purchased a car in Colorado and I personally lost the title before I had it transferred over and I couldn't get ahold of the previous owner so I had to go through the bonded title process and all I had to do was fill out the proper paperwork with the DMV and then the original owner was by mail. The owner has 30 days to comply or to respond. Once that process is completed in the sheriff has to come out and inspect the car. Once that's completed I had to go to my insurance company and purchase $100 Bond for the bonded title. All that information got sent to the Nebraska DMV and then they sent me a title for the car. It did take about two months. But even if the judge in your state has to sign off on it and he understands that you purchased the car and the insurance auction lost the title I don't see how he wouldn't sign that?

[@mexicanspec]

A bonded title means there might be another owner out there that can claim the car over the next three years. How much do you think he would be able to sell that car for with the bonded brand on the title?

[@Icantthinkofaname-qk3fs]

@@mexicanspec I would still say more than $2000 maybe $2500 or $3000

[@jeromygreene8655]

It doesn't change the value of the car having a bonded title. I know in Nebraska I can't remember if it's one year or two years but after that you can change the title back to a regular title and the bonded title will fall off. I have sold a car before with the bonded title.

[@mexicanspec]

@@jeromygreene8655 It absolutely does. The bond is insurance against somebody coming to get it within that time. Who would want to buy the car under those conditions. Also an insurance company will not pay out on a total loss claim with a bonded title because their insured doesn't own the car 100% until that bond is released.

I would definitely use it while you have it. If you had to give the Car back at least maybe you could use it for a while, put some miles on it so you can get the money back using it. as a daily sort of like renting the car. that way the money and time you put into it will be more or less paid for. in the worst case scenario.
