    Wilhelm, our Virginia vehicle title resources do not go that far back unfortunately. Our VIN search can only resource vehicles manufactured in the last 30-40 years. It’s also important to note that some older vintage vehicles were not transferred by the DMV into a digital format. You may want to consult the Virginia DMV to find out more about your specific vehicle

    We sold a car from Virginia to A dealership in Florida but we never received the electronic title before selling. It is impossible to reach a liver person with DMV in Virginia. We are in Florida and can’t go in person. So after the dealership agreed to the price, they too couldn’t get the title to transfer to Florida from Virginia. So we went on the dmv Virginia website and thought we could transfer the electronic title to the Florida dealership. We began by telling the website the vehicle is sold, expecting the next page to ask to whom, for how much, mileage, etc. instead nothing.. it simply took the vehicle off the acccount, and now we have no idea how to transfer the title to the dealership in Florida. When we go back onto the dmv website, the car is no longer listed, except in the history section saying it was sold. Any suggestions? What or how can the Florida dealership get the title?
