    You can't legally sell a car unless you sign the ownership over to the new owner. That's the only paper you'll need.

    in the uk the person named on the papers gets all the speeding tickets no matter how many times the car is sold afterwards, until someone changes the name on the papers, you are.

    guess who the cops come after if the car is used in a hit n run? a drive by shooting, a crime? you want cops kicking ya door down every week?

    you need the title to the car, and it probably needs to be notarized. that might cost you a few $$.

    has the car been in your name?
    if so, just take the front door off your house, save the cops kicking it down and making all that damage

    Where in Canada are you? Driving an unregistered car with plates belonging to another car is MASSIVE offence!

    What would stop your next door guy to seel your car?

    Just your keys to the car the key he got it made.

    Wake up!!!!!!!!!!

    No kidding Ha!

    FBI could book any crime they could not solve on the owner.
