    Buying a car without a title

    Anyone here done it? I'm in NJ and I'm about to pick up a 95 Nissan 200SX SE-R for very cheap as my daily, but it has no title. What's the trick to getting a title for it ?

      yes. all you need is a bill of sale and apply for duplicate title at dmv. as long as the bill of sale seller signature is the registered owner of the vehicle.

              Sorry, but in Va, you can take out a mechanics lien if a customer doesn't pay/refuses to pay for work done to a car.

              I short, the the car becomes the shops.

              The shop can then sell the car, part it out, etc.

              I know in PA it's illegal to do that, (just saw OP's location..) but other states, IDK.

                My 318i had no title...It's in my name now. Magic.

                Receipt with current registered owners signature should do it, but I'd call your secretary of state and find out.

                  What do you mean that car has no title? Did the guy loose it?

                  If the dude lost it here in nw we have a thing called, affidavit in lieu of title. Guy goes to DMW says he lost the title, fills out paper work. done.

                      Get the vin# run by the local police station have them check to see if its filed as stolen if not go to wherever you get tags and registration and file for lost title. If you buy it and it is stolen they will sieze the car and maybe even arrest you for possesion/purchase of stolen property.

                        Super cheap and no title throws immediate red flags, get the police to check it before you do anything.

                            Just register it in a shady area. Nobody will raise an eye brow there.

                            Here in bay city you'd have issues, but if you drive 15 mins to the Saginaw branch you'd be fine. Lol
