12    and to complete and execute the space reserved in the
13    certificate of title for a dealer reassignment,

15    dealer. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that the
16    lienholder is taking title to the repossessed vehicle for
17    purposes of liability for retailer occupation, vehicle
18    use, or other tax with respect to the proceeds from the
19    repossession sale. Delivery of the existing certificate of
