    not exactly the same perhaps, but of concern with any title company,
    especially those that wash titles for use in other states, i offer the
    following as a caution :

    Titles Unlimited used to do title washing in Ga , or somewhere in the south
    east...and that TU dude is facing jail time in california ..other states are
    investigating too. seems they provided a title for cobra replicas, and
    other rods/custom cars, saying it was a 65 or 66 or whatever ford thus
    circumventing the emissions laws/statutes etc in many states as the car was
    NOT a 65 or whatever was represented. might be apples and oranges here, but
    they were in biz for years too...til Calif found out some folks were beating
    the system. Don't know anything about A to Z and most likely entirely
    different, but there are issues with some of these title companies . do a
    search on Club Cobra

    http://cobra.terraworld.net/

    under Titles Unlimited and whoa boy, get ready for some long reading and car
    owners facing some jail time and fines as well for misrepresenting what they
    had ! now , of coures some owners screwed themselves by claiming lower
    purchase cost etc thus also dodging higher taxes in addition to
    misrepresenting titles. the investigations in calif are ongoing with Rod
    builders under the microscope now. some folks have serial numbers on their
    titles of 65 etc mustangs, ford convertibles etc, and that is hitting the
    fan too.

    due diligence is in order for any title company usage is my take...or take
    your chances. bill, motown

    Well Pete - Your wrong

    A to Z has been in business for 30 years and she is the only company
    licensed by the state of Arizona to specifically work with the DMV. 99.9% of
    her work is for licensed dealers (across the country) only.

    Check your facts, FIRST, then state your case

    Thanks

    Lee & Group,

    I would NEVER recommend using a title company. This is a sure way to
    eventually
    be named in a lawsuit. Imagine: Two owners claim the same vehicle with
    this "obtained" title,
    and your name is connected. UGLY!

    All car collectors, especially Licensed Dealers should know,
    circumventing the system will surely come back to haunt you. Just find out
    what the rules require and follow them!

    One of the jobs, we do in researching cars history, is tracing titles.
    Car titles coming
    From Alabama or Arizona are scrutinized.

    Call Pearl at A to Z Auto Title in AZ (623) 849 4952

    She can get you an Arizona "title only" and then you can take that AZ
    title
    and turn it in for another states for a title

    FLA is a pian in the ass on older cars (even when you have a title)

    She charges somthing like $ 63.00 - tell her I sent you
