Use common sense...If the guy was paid in full by his insurance...His insurance has the title...An insurance company does not give any pay offs for a total loss, unless they recieve a title. The junker should have the insurance info...if not, Get the vin number and go to one of those online vin/title history check...It cost about $15 to $20 to do so, but you will get all of the info you need. If the car was indeed stolen and the guy was paid off, the car now belongs to the insurance company, or the insurance company sold/released it to the junker.
In other words, Don't buy the car unless someone gives you a title. Salvage or whatever...The they might sell it to you then tow that ***** back to their junker and act like nothing happened...There is a lot of shady people out there, If a deal seems to good to be true, then they throw in a curve ball (in your situation...a missing title), than its not all good...
You hear me knockin?
