Sorry, this doesn't apply to private party sales. These two forms are the PS2000 and the Supplemental Dealer Reassignment forms, both are used by dealers since a title doesn't necessarily come with the car on the day of sale.
The answer is that you can sell the car without the title, but the buyer takes a pretty big risk of not getting the title from the seller if they are a private party. If you're good friends with the seller and you trust them, than it's no big deal unless you need tabs, in which case you need a title or at least a copy of it to get tabs. Horror stories related to this would be that Joe Blow sells a car without the title because he took out a loan against it and it has a lien. The seller figures this out when the seller never produces a title or it can't be transferred until the lien is satisfied.
Dealers are watched pretty closely, so your chances of problems with a dealer as far as title transfer is concerned are very minimal. You have the backing of the state when buying from us clowns.
