State Farm offered me $1725 for the vehicle...
(this seems low to me, but wait, here comes the fun bit)
... if I can come up with a title. I've never had a title to this car. When I bought it I had a loan. By the time my loan was paid off, my bank had been purchased something like four times, I had moved at least twice, and I guess whatever's supposed to happen just didn't happen.
The DMV will accept a notarized letter on the lienholder's letterhead, which letterhead of course no longer exists. I MAY be able to get whichever bank purchased everybody else to write such a letter with a note saying they're the ones who ate my old bank. Maybe. If I can find the old loan information anyway. The newest of it should be thirteen years old.
(Pssst. This is why I don't like throwing away any financial papers.)
This is going to be an adventure.

I paid off my car about 3 months ago. I waited about a month and hadn't gotten the title in the mail, so I called the credit union. Turns out they don't automatically arrange for the title to be transferred to the owner, but they were happy to do it because I asked!
I now have the title in the firesafe downstairs!
Good luck!
