It does not matter who is listed first. If more than one person is listed on the title of a car, all parties on the title are equally liable.


Does it matter whose name is first on the car sales contract?

For a new car, yes it will matter, as that is the order that the names will appear on the new car registration that is submitted to the motor vehicle department. For a used car, it shouldn't matter too much as there is already an existing title & registration that has to be taken into the MVD by the new buyer.

A new car yes, but a used car no. You would first need to apply for a title.


If two names are on a title and two names are on the loan if you take the car can the other person on the title have you arrested?

No, if your name is one of the two on the title. That makes the car as much your property as it is theirs. If you intentionally deprive them of the use of the car by hiding or destroying it, then it becomes a civil matter - not criminal.

If a person holds a title to a car but another person has the car who owns the car?

Simple, the title holder, provided the title is in that person's name. Possession may be 9/10ths of the law, but possession is only possession. Ownership is another matter. If you have a title in your name, and someone else has your car and will not give it back-- well, you cannot steal your own property. Just don't enter a structure to get it.


If a friend gives you a vehicle and you accept and a year later he wants it back is it illegal?

It is illegal for him or her to demand the car back if he or she has signed the title of the car over to you and you have registered the car with the DMV. If you own the title to the car then it is yours. You could work out a payment agreement or seek an attorney's help in the matter. The first visit to an attorney is usually free. You could also contact your state's DMV for further assistance.


Can a lienholder repossess a car if it is titled to another lienholder?

When there are multiple liens on a car, it is possible for either lien holder to repossess it. However, one lien holder is normally in the first position and the other one is in the second position. The one with his name on the title is normally the one in the first position and is the one who gets paid first when a car is repossessed, no matter who does the actual repossession.


Can you register a car that is not in your name?

Can you get insurance on a car with a reconstructed title in Oregon?

If by reconstructed title you are referring to a vehicle that had a prior salvage title, I would think you could, contact an agent in your area. == Absolutely! No problem whatsoever. Keep in mind that a reconstructed car is worth roughly 60% of the value of a similar car with a clean title so if you total the car you will get less than real market value but hopefully you paid less for the car so it won't matter.
