How to Obtain a Title for Your Vehicle Sold at Auction with Error Code D108

If you are trying to obtain a title for your vehicle that has been sold at auction and you encounter error code D108, follow the steps outlined below to successfully complete the process.

Step 1: Complete the Smog Check

The first requirement is ensuring that a smog check is completed on your vehicle. This step is crucial unless specific conditions apply.

Step 2: Dealer Transfer Exception

If the sale of your vehicle involves a dealer transfer, you can simplify matters:

• Select "YES" when asked about the smog requirement.
• Prepare and include a Statement of Facts indicating that:
  • The vehicle is being sold at auction.
  • A smog check is not required in this case.

Step 3: E-Filing Documents

Once you've completed these initial steps, proceed with e-filing all necessary documents related to the title transfer process. Ensure all information provided aligns with state regulations regarding auctions and titles.

Bypassing Smog Error Code D108

If you're looking to bypass error code D108 entirely during an auction sale, consider submitting another Statement of Facts:
