Then you can safely and legally purchase the car and go through the motions to get the car titled in your name. Later, QD.

this is exactly right!!! i bought a car off a girl, we went to the title place and i paid off the lien, then paid her what was left.. simple shit really, this used to kinda scare me away, but its not that difficult...

as for ppl not being able to sell the car when the title is pawned, i didnt know that at all.
