I hope I misunderstood, but you should NOT have given a signed title to the buyer. Both of you should have gone to the DMV (office is in the country office in Pinellas Plaza), and completed the transaction there. I have heard many horror stories about people who handed of titles, only to be ticketed and fined later because the "buyer" never completed the paperwork. You also need to think about insurance, as you may incur liability in case of an accident.
Good luck.
