Buying used car Question

[Hound]

Sounds like a classic scam. Don't do it. If you must do it TB had some good points. I would add no money till you can physically see the title and also, get the VIN number and call it into the State Police office. Verify that the car is not stolen or otherwise 'an issue'. If they are busy, call the guy up and get the VIN, then go to the DMV. Check the VIN.
