Pick Slip

There is also a form that comes with the title that you are suppose to fill out and sent to the DMV stating when you sold or gave it away and to whom.
If you don't have the form then write the VIN number and license number on a piece of paper along with your name and who you sold or gave it to and
send that to the CA DMV. If you don't you are still responsible for the vehicle should something happen. In any event it would save you from the
hassle of proving you were not responsible. By the way keep a copy for yourself.

After seeing all the helpful suggestions for disposing of a vehicle, does anybody but me get the feeling that governments run your life?

When we registered our cars/ trucks in South Dakota, what did we do with the CA plates?

Nothing. I still have mine. I'm waiting for another "do or die" order from any one of the participating governments..... Baja, South Dakota,
California, USA, MEX.
They're all lining up to get us.

Thanks for the responses.
I think that I have a somewhat better sense of what to do now. I am going to take it to a yonke in Baja and let them have it. I am going to take the
California plates off and return them to the DMV together with the pink slip and fill out the DMV form for non-responsibility.
I hope that it is fully legal in Baja Mexico to junk a US plated vehicle there, given that it is not driveable. If so, what is the procedure to
accomplish that pursuant to Mexican law and local procedure? That's really the real question here.

if you give the yonke the vehicle give him the pink slip too. so he can show it is not stolen and turned in for insurance.

Never. The pink slip is the most valuable part of that vehicle. Keep it so it can't be fitted to another vehicle.

I think it's an aduana (customs) issue, since it's a foreign-plated car. To be legal in Mexico, that's probably where to start. But
I'll bet junkyard owners will know the rules. There are many "yonkes" on the Las Planes highway (continuation of Colosio after Forjadores heading
toward the mountains). Just ride out there with someone and ask them. They may offer to buy it. Sell Lencho the door first, though!

Mechanics may also be able to advise you.

Write "Sold to Mexico"on the title and mail it to the DMV. There is no liability that way. They don't care and you will not be responsibly for
registration from there on.
Call (or talk to) the guys at any "Yonke" and they come over and take it for free.

The DMV doesn't give a rats behind about the title other than knowing that you sold or gave it away and to whom. That's how they clear their records.
Who ever you sold it to needs the title to stay legal when they part out the parts. If a Mexican Federal cops calls CA DMV and says we have a car vin
# ****** and believe it's stolen, the CA DMV can check and say it was last own by **** and our records show he sold it to Jose Cruz on 2/25/2010 for
$25.

Wow, I wonder if, in fact, the Mexican cops would actually place a call to the California DMV. If they have actually ever done that, that is a
concept that blows the mind. Especially given that the car will not have any plates to identify it to California. But. that doesn't mean that the
cops wouldn't call, I suppose.
That scares me a bit. I need to find out the legal process to retire (junk) it in Baja. I hesitate asking the people that work at a yonke for
details of the process. I have trouble getting good, solid, accurate, current, and reliable legal advice from my Mexican attorney on anything. I
have learned that I usually have to corroborate every thing he tells me with an additional source before I can rely on it.

You had better check with the five involved governments to make sure it's alright with them. You may be required to submit a loyalty oath or
something like that to qualify.
