I am not sure where to ask but I know someone has to know the answer to this. When you buy a car online how do you do it? What if there is a lean against it? What if it is in another state? Can you get them registared to drive home ( your state or the other)? What have you found is the best way?
Its a scary thing to do, I just want to get some ideas before getting burned. Thanks,

If it is from a dealership then you will be required to pay for the car in full and they can give you a plate (from their state) and temp registration that allows you to drive home. Often times they have to send your information to their state and then that state will issue a new title with your name and info on it. Once you get the title in the mail then you have to go to your local notary and get it transfered to your state. You will also pay sales tax at this time. Did it on my wifes car, kind of a pain in the arse. Probably wouldn't do it unless it's a great deal and/or it's a one of a kind car.

The car is an older one (87) from a private party. The asking price is only $6800 but I am not sure about the overnight ownership deal. Them transfering title, or if there is a leen, or what ever. Its an EBay thing so if they took me they would get a bad mark on there account (sorry about this remark) but I don't know of any other recourse if they aren't honest.

thanks, Neil
