Default Michigan doesn't have a sold vehicle reporting process?

I bought a vehicle in Michigan via a Proxibid auction where the vehicle was a Court Ordered Forfeiture. Since the vehicle didn't have a title, it just had court papers, I had to title the vehicle in Michigan before I could title the vehicle in Arizona.

I decided not to keep the vehicle and sold it as soon as I received the Michigan title in my name. I've been looking for a way to report the sale to the State of Michigan so the title will no longer be in my name but it doesn't appear that Michigan has a sold vehicle reporting process.

The instructions on the title suggest that the seller accompany the buyer to the Secretary of State office (Michigan's version of a DMV) or retain a copy of the Bill of Sale for 18 months.

To be clear, it's not a huge deal I'm just surprised that in today's Internet age there's a state that doesn't allow their citizens the opportunity to report that they've sold a vehicle that was titled in their name. (Both Washington and Arizona have DMV websites that allow sellers to report the sale of a vehicle - I'm guessing that almost all states do?)
