So this car has been parked in your garage for 2 years?? I would not be quick to assume you can't register it. Smog the car and consult a private DMV registration service, some of those people are magicians. Or you could smog the car and sell it as-is to some other person. You would be safer waiting another year in case someone associated with the car lot decides to file a lawsuit against you. I am assuming that you never heard from the car lot or finance company and that repossession is unlikely.
