How do you locate a car used to own?

Locate a Car You Used to Own

There are a few ways to locate a car you used to own.

1. Check your records. If you kept any of the paperwork from when you sold the car, such as the bill of sale or the title transfer, it may have the new owner's contact information.

2. Contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The DMV may be able to provide you with the contact information of the new owner if they're still registered in the state.

3. Use a VIN lookup service. There are a number of websites that offer this service, which will provide you with the car's current location and the owner's contact information if it is registered in the United States. However, some of these services may charge a fee.

4. Search social media. If you know the new owner's name or have any mutual friends, you may be able to find them on social media. Be sure to use caution when doing this, as you don't want to share any personal information with strangers.

5. Hire a private investigator. If you're still unable to locate the car or the new owner, you may want to consider hiring a private investigator. This is a more expensive option, but it may be worth it if the car is valuable or has sentimental value.

Remember that you may not be able to find the car or the new owner if they've moved or if the car has been sold multiple times. However, you may have some luck if you're persistent and explore all of your options.
