<prompt> Human: Hi everyone,I just wanted to see what everyone is thinking about this.My mother wants to sell her car and a distant co-worker in a larger company wants to buy it. They want to put the registration in his name, but she would keep the title until everything is paid. This would probably take 18-20 months.What are the downsides of this? Anything she should think about? I dont think it is a good idea, since she doesnt even know the guy, but they definitely want to do this and get it notarized.Any input is appreciated!Edit: Thank you all so much! This will certainly help!  <response>: No, this is all wrong, she should not do it.Your mom would have to pay herself for complete insurance on the car the entire time. Why? Because shes the one that will get sued when theres an accident.And what about repairs? What if the engine dies because the other guy forgot to check the oil? The car is now worthless. What about parking tickets and speed cameras? What if the car is impounded for any reason? Etc etc etc. Dont do it.If shes ready to sell the car, put it up for sale and sell it to a normal cash buyer. Go to an Auto Tags place and transfer it properly and then the car is paid for and gone.
