I agree. What if the new purchaser gets into an accident and caused a fatality. The initial review of documents will indicate YOU as the vehicle owner. Expect to be named in lawsuits until it gets cleared up. Not worth the headache and scare in my opinion, would rather be responsible to immediately release liability of the vehicle myself rather than hoping / waiting for the new owner to change the ownership status with DMV.
