QD speaks the truth.

I had the same issue when i bought my civic from a UPS driver. Mug had a title pawn lien at some place. Paid balance to pawn to relase title and lien and gave rest of money to UPS owner and car was mine.

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