Today, I got to wake up to a text saying that it has a Salvage title. He doesn't know what for and that he's had it at 85 on the highway with no shakes.
I he has a salvage title, that would mean he has not re-titled it into his name, after buying it from someone that had it salvage titled...
this essentially means he cannot get plates for it, because the title is not currently in his name...(just signed over to him)
This doubles the conundrum if he attempts to sell it to you, as a second buyer, with a title that comes from the person he bought it off of.
If he cannot get a clear title in his name, and noted as the owner, or a valid vehicle registration along with it... you are gonna have painful proceedings...
imho, I'd walk away fast.
