your question is a bit confusing, if the vehicle has been registered as non-op at the dmv then there shouldnt be any back fee's. If you are saying the vehicle isnt running and the guy hasnt paid the dmv then you will have back fee's to pay. If the vehicle hasnt had any activity on the registration for over 5 years the registration and records will have been deleted. If thats the case you will need to schedule an appointment at the dmv, bring the vehicle down to the dmv via flatbed or temp moving permit so a dmv employee can verify the vin number and make sure it isnt a stolen vehicle or any other negative things. After this they will check the value of the vehicle and charge you a registration fee and other misc fee's for license plate, pink slips, etc. Im pretty sure law enforcement officers can also sign for your vin verification. instead of needing to mess with bringing the vehicle to the dmv.
