<prompt> Human: My father passed away in July, with almost nothing to his name. His most valuable asset was a used 2008 VW Passat which a close friend purchased for him, cash. We lived together, and it was our only car. A month after his passing, the car unexpectedly died in the middle of the night, and 3 mechanics verified it would be a large expense to repair, 3-6k, the engine was totally borked. I went out and purchased my first car the next day REALLY WISH I HAD KNOW ABOUT THIS SUBREDDIT BEFORE I DID THATI need the car gone, its sitting at an auto-shop pissing off its owner since nothings being done. Hes willing to buy it cheap for parts, but needs a title. Dad lost his title. Getting a new one would require bringing the buyer to the tax office to do a bunch of paperwork related to heirship and new titles and etc. Why anyone would be willing to do that, I dont know. I want to just go to the repair shop and set the thing on fire and plug my ears and pretend the car never existed. Its cost me more in tows and repair estimates than I can get for it now, and Im already just scraping by. Any tips on what to do, Im so exhausted.  <response>: You have to Get the title yourself. Then you can sell or scrap it.
