Re: Car sale

Hello!

If you transferred the "pink slip" to your sister, then she owns the car and merely owes you a debt. I assume that you did not make yourself the secured lender (like a bank) on the DMV registration.

If you have not transferred the pink and not enabled a registgration in your sister's name, you can repossess the car---it remains yours!

I hope this has been helpful

Respectfully,
