Sec. 78.46. Paper accompanying junk vehicles

(a) If a dealer's proof of ownership of a vehicle is a form MV-907, the dealer may submit the form MV-907 and proof of inspection and receive a certificate of title. Upon retail sale, the vehicle must be sold as used. If a dealer's proof of ownership of a vehicle is a form MV-907A, the dealer may submit the form MV-907A, form MV-82, application for title, and form MV-899, application for salvage vehicle examination. The appropriate fee must accompany the request. If the vehicle passes the physical examination, a certificate of title will be issued. Upon retail sale, the vehicle must be sold as used.

(b) If a dealer purchases a vehicle whose proof of ownership is an out-of-state salvage title or junk vehicle certificate or the equivalent, the dealer shall promptly submit a copy of front and reverse of such proof of ownership with a request for an MV-907A. The dealer must appear as the transferee of the vehicle. Every vehicle obtained from an out-of-state insurance company shall be treated as a salvage vehicle and the title for that vehicle shall be treated as a salvage title.

(c) It is expected that dealers will have need for MV-907A forms infrequently. These forms will not be supplied in advance to the dealer. A dealer needing an MV-907A may obtain one by submitting his proof of ownership to the Title Bureau, Department of Motor Vehicles, Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY 12228. A form MV-907A will be mailed back.
