Zero risk? Are you out of your mind? Your telling this poor bastard to blindly hand a stranger money.. Good god you are more stupid than I imagined.

Here is a very real situation. Say this guy stole the car and title from a guy in the military who wouldn't notice it gone for 6 months or so. Guy sells it to you with NO bill of sale or DL. The signature of the owner is forged yet everything looks legit, ole buddy is just trying to make a quick flip. You hand the dude cash money and its a done deal. Dude gets home from deployment and his car is missing and you have it.. Now what? "Ummm this guy sold it to me.." Prove it. Oh wait you can't and now all your cash is gone.

OP sorry for the BS bickering and this will be my last posting on the matter. Moral of the story is you can never be to careful and you can't trust anyone. Never and I mean NEVER purchase a car in any state from an individual without a BOS and a copy of the persons valid DL. I don't give a **** if it's required or not, Especially when you know the persons name isn't even on the title. Good luck with the nova!

The advise I'm giving the OP is cover his *** by getting all the info he can from a guy that is trying to sell him a car that technically DOESNT even belong to him. If the guy won't cough up his info than take a walk becuase there is probably a reason for it! And yes you hard headed moron I have sold a car this way but ALWAYS with a bill of sale and nice cold hard copy of my DL in case any BS happens.

Buyers aren't special? I'd hate to be one your customers. I guess they all owe you something for having something for sale? Lol what a tool!
And? All cars are sold as is, where is with no warranty. If you get fucked on the car, it's your problem for not checking it over properly. They don't owe me anything, but I don't owe them anything other than a good running car that's as advertised.

I'm guessing you're not from Texas. In that scenario, the guy in the military will lose. It's his responsibility to secure that title and proving that the signature is forged would be extremely difficult.
