    Default Can You Transfer a Signed Vehicle Title to a Third Party

    My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Maryland

    I recently purchased a used motorcycle from an individual, but never registered or applied for title in my name. I have signed title and bill of sale, but now I am looking to sell the vehicle again. I want to know how to transfer title to third party without applying for new title from original owner. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    You can't legally. You don't "apply for title from the original owner." You take the signed over title to the MD DMV and title it in your name. Then you are free to transfer it to whomever you want.
    You'll have to pay the tax.

    Selling a vehicle on an open title (title jumping) is illegal. There are people who buy that way but you'll limit yourself to shady buyers and end up selling for less money that is appropriate.

    Get it titled in your name and then sell it.
