    It's not your car legally as the owners can't give you something which they do not own - the finance company still owns it. Tow it back to their driveway and consider it an expensive lesson after you pay the $850 fine. You really have no other choice in the matter. Next time be a little hesitant taking "free" gifts.

    And just to clarify, JesseJane:

    Nevada Vehicle Title Designs

    Every title design for the state of Nevada since 1996 has a section printed on the front for lienholder information. Your song and dance about not being given the original title means nothing; if it has a lien, it's on the title.

    I think an assumption is being made the lien stems from a loan used to purchase the car. In that case, yes, the lien should be noted on the title. However, there is a possibility that the lien was placed AFTER the car was sold so that the original title was issued without a lien. Not saying that's the case, but it is a possibility.

    Agree with you 100%; here's where the "but" comes in :)

    The OP states that she wasn't given the original title; I assume the ex-friend lost the original and got a replacement in order to sign it over. The replacement would then have that lien issued on it.

    Either way, I think everyone on this board is in agreement that it would be in the OP's best interest to simply have the car towed back to the ex-friend's house... if only the OP would listen.

    I would return the car to the people that gave you the car, or just have the car repossesed because the car is not in your name.

    The problems with the car are not yours so why are you worrying about it. Get rid of the car and be done with it!!

    That's what I told him/her; I got called a "know it all" and was then told that I don't know what I'm talking about... talk about an oxymoron :)
