Ok.Here's the situation.I'm looking to buy a car out of TN.
The guy selling has no title because TN is pretty lax..?He has a bill of sale from the previous owner.He is emailing me the VIN number so I can check it out. How do I talk to for this?If it checks out, what is the next step?The car is a 54 chev.I really dig this car.So any help is appreciated.

If Wash is tight about titles i'd be real "iffy" about getting it.unless its not that much.
Try a title guy theres alot in R&C in the back of the mag, I used a guy in Md. with good results.he gave me a title & a old registration,6 yrs ago in RI you didn't need a old reg, but now you do, sremember"Buyer Beware"!!

Washington now looks up the VIN on any car brought into the state. They dropped the requirement for VIN inspection a year or two ago. You'll have to pay for a national search to confirm the VIN is not associated with a stolen car.

Provided you have a legitimate VIN and the car really isn't stolen I think you'll be okay.

I was pretty sure that TN has always been pretty tight about titles, but I'm just a kid...although my 55 has a title http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
