Working for a bank I can tell you that if a financial insitution has the title they will tell you tough **** that you bought the vehicle and not give you the title. Be sure that there are no outstanding judgements dealing with that vehicle. PM me and I can try and check for you. 
Unless he has a title that is one car I would walk away from. If he has the title the release of lien is on the bottom front corner along with a date. If he does not have a title DO NOT PURCHASE THE CAR.
