Scrapping a vehicle with no title in Florida?

**Diablosvr** · 10-03-2012, 07:52 PM

So here is the deal. The van has never been titled in his name, but he has bill of sale. His friend gave him the van because he didn't have a place to store it. Says it's $80 to get replacement title, but he doesn't have the money.

So I'm thinking I will find out the following...Is his friend still around, what's his name and vin number. Then track everything backwards and verify that it's his to sell.

The guy doesn't seem to be in any rush to sell, because I told him to try calling an ad that says no title is OK and he never did it.

I get $240 ton, van is like 3800. I will start with $200 offer to buy if I can verify.

Sound like a plan?
