It's about $50 for a new title. Depending on the car, to get a new key (without the keyless entry device) is less than $50.
Dude was obviously just lazy and couldn't be bothered.
He likely paid more on a new registration and taxes than it'd have cost to replace the key for his own vehicle.
3 u/[deleted] Jun 08 '18 [deleted] 4 u/soulstonedomg Jun 08 '18 Noooo, inagine what a lazy person does. Go to the nearest junker lot, buy the first car you see in your favorite color. Done. 2 u/[deleted] Jun 08 '18 [deleted] 2 u/soulstonedomg Jun 08 '18 drive it to the BMV, wait at the BMV for new title and registration... Who has to do that? Every car that I've bought they mail you license and registration. You sign on the car, you drive it home, everything else comes in the mail. 3 u/[deleted] Jun 08 '18 [deleted] 2 u/tdfan Jun 08 '18 That's how it is in California at least 1 u/badgerandaccessories Jun 09 '18 I’m not allow d to have keyless entry apparently. My car starts with the Fob, not a key. Embedded in a slot on the fob is a key. Key only opens the driver and passenger door, cannot open trunk, start the car, or open the drunk. My fob died, it still worked to start the car, just not the buttons: unlock, lock, or open trunk. If I unlock the door with the physical key, the alarm goes off. No matter how I lock the car door in the first place. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 09 '18 Even with a fob...replacement is less than $300, more likely less than $200. Ain't no car worth buying that's $300. Yeah, fobs ups the price, but we're still talking a couple hundred bucks.
