[DeTomaso] NPC: Calf title paperwork

[Larry - Ohio Time]

Ok guys I pulled the trigger and bought a Jaguar from California and paid
for it. Today I get a packet of paperwork from the used car dealer. Boy this
is not how we do it in the grand old state of Ohio. Look at this mess.
 
1.	I get a Nevada title for the car in the name of the lady who traded
it to a Honda dealer in Las Vegas. The back of the title is signed over to
California Auto Auction. Nothing is notarized. 
2.	I get a small form from Cal DMV "vehicle auction wholesale report of
sale". It shows the auction name and the used car dealer's name as buyer.
Nothing is notarized.
3.	I get a form from Cal DMV, "vehicle/vessel transfer and reassignment
form". Looks to be a bill of sale from the auction company to the used car
dealer.
4.	I get a form from Cal DMV, "vehicle/vessel transfer and reassignment
form" Looks to be a bill of sale from the used car dealer to me. It is
asking for my signature and returned to them. It also asks for my signature
to appoint the used car dealer to be my power of attorney to complete
necessary paperwork and transfer ownership. Hmmmm.
5.	I get a form "contract cancellation option agreement" looking for my
signature to decline it.
 
 
Is any of this normal? We call this skipping a title here and it is not a
legal thing to do. Do I just sign all this before the car gets here? Did he
really ship it yet?
 
In Ohio a dealer buys a car. He gets a title that has the back filled in
with his name, miles and a notarized signature of the seller. The dealer
transfers the tile into there name and get a new title. When it is sold the
same thing happens.simple.
