If the car's title has dropped out of their system (after 3-4 years)then DMV
will have NO RECORD of the car. Therefore, if you have a title, but no past
registration information, they will charge you ONLY one year back
registration.
However, if they still have the title (VIN) on record they will charge you 3
years back registration (Plus penalties).
Go figure.
