In order to never be in a bad situation you must first avoid it.....in other words stay away....maybe there is nothing wrong or fishy, but do you know for sure?</P>


IF you must simply have THAT car, it's the owner's responsibility to get that title for you. If you wish contact the DMV in HIS zone and find out what he needs to do to get a title then just simply relay this info to him to facilitate and expidite your purchase (if it is a legitimate one) .... if he starts giving you "but...." or "I can't...." I suggest you just walk away from it. There are a gazillion other cars out there.</P>

Yeah. Tell him to get a title for it before you buy it. That'll mean he's gotta come up with a good story as to why he's in possession of a car without a title, but better make him worry about it than you. If the car is stolen and you go to register it, you could be in for a world of hurt. (plus you'll be out whatever money you pay)

It's not hard to replace a lost title legally, just make him do it.
