Just kidding Mick, looks like a fun project to me, enjoy the new Poop-Off.

When I bought my Pace Car from a guy in Indiana, the title was still a previous owner's Alabama title. He had never transferred it in the eight years he owned it. BUT, all his info was filled in on the back of the title for the transfer. I wouldn't take it that way. He simply transferred the title at that time, eight years later. No problem. I assume he had to pay some sales tax, tho. The new Indiana title had the current date for the transfer but it did show the purchase date as eight years earlier. I would have liked to have gotten the Vette with the Alabama title without all the transfer info filled out. As it was, I had to transfer the title to my name in Illinois simply because the seller didn't listen to me and HE filled out the transfer to me. I ended up paying a chunk of sales tax. probably more than the original owner paid!

I really can't see having a problem transferring the title. first to your seller and then to you. It would just be a pain trying to skip the seller, makes him look like a dealer or something.

Sorry to hear about the problem with the title. If the car hasn't been in the DMV system for 5 years, you wouldn't have any problem getting a title, even if you took the car without a title. I have used this company several times without any problem. They won't send you a title but will send paperwork that the DMV will accept and send you a title. Good Luck!!!

I would request the guy give me the title "as is" and make sure you get a bill of sale.
