Obviously he isn't a friend. Send him a bill for rent for all the time the car has been parked, and tell him that if he does not pick up the car in 1 week, you will report it as an abandoned car to the police.

No, you can't get a bill of sale, because you did not in fact sell it, nor do you have the legal right to do so. But, you can get rid of it: Give him written notice that you are going to have it towed. I'd give him 10 business days to come and get it, and if he doesn't then have it towed out into the street.

There is a procedure for getting title to an abandoned car. Your local Magistrate probably has the procedure. You cannot just get a bill of sale, you have to go through the procedure.

You can call him and tell him it's going to be towed (at his expense) and to get rid of it. You can't sell it because it's not yours. You can also try calling his ins co (if he has one) and see if they will pull it out of there. Lastly, you can call the cops and see if they will ticket him for trespass and tow the vehicle (at his expense). Good luck.

Doesn't make any sense. Why would anyone give you a bill of sale unless you bought it tell him to get his car out of your drive by tomorrow or you will have it towed or you will sell it to a scrap yard/salvage dealer (you may not be able to do that with no title).

No, but you can give the friend some time to get it before you have it towed away.

If he did not sell it to you, how do you expect to get a bill of sale or to sell it.

No, you will need to file and perfect a storage lien.

Note wise. Go to the City and check to see what you have to do to get the car towed off your property.

No. Call your county junk car program to have it towed.
