If you like paying money for someone elses problem then I'd say its a great deal. If you feel like keep your money and putting it towards something that is legal, your "allowed" to test drive and doesn't have other life forms growing in it then I'd say you might want to pass this gem up.

Is up to you. Right now looks like a very bad deal. You can tell him to go to DMV and request a replacement title. If he says no, then it is possible there's something fishy going on or he's just lazy.

Anything else you can deal with, but no title is a big HELL NO!!!

He probably bought it off someone who didnt have title either. Its not that bad if you've lost the title, but i wouldnt drive the car anywhere until you verify with dmv, how much the fees, who's legal owner, etc. Its doable, but if you get rolled on, you will have may have to contact the person who is the registered owner to get it out.(Only if its impounded)

+ dont buy it a friend of mine bought a 50 like that and now its gone forever hahaha he spent like 5k on it with a "copy" of the pink slip , but yah he got pulled over and they took it

he probably won't let you drive it because it doesn't have a title, therefore if you get pulled over it would probably be towed to impound....


^ thats exactly why haha
