Sorry, man - not trying to piss in your wheaties but I had to chime in here. You MUST realize that your story is exactly what a thief would cook up in order to dump a hot car. You must get the title before you sell it to somebody. If anybody buys this car without a title you need to have your head examined. Do you mean to tell us that you have owned this car since '99 and never got around to transfering the title into your name? The previous owner still "owns" the car and could report it stolen at any time. Also, in order to have a title in their name, a potential buyer would have to track down the guy that sold you the car 8 years ago (if you could even find him and if he is still alive....) and ask HIM to go apply for a duplicate title, then he would have to legally "sell" the car to the new buyer - unless you wanted him to transfer it into your name first, then you pay taxes, then you flip it into the new buyers name. Either way, it is unwise to buy this car, or any car for that matter without a title. Sorry again, just my .02
