Sounds questionable.

What rubs me wrong is the fact that a guy who bought it didn't put the title in his name. Now add on that he'll have the dealership buy it and sell it to you? On top of that, the dealer isn't going to "buy" the car from him for what he is willing to sell it to you for, it will be quite a bit less. So now he puts in his pocket 30% less (pulling a number out of my ass) then he would have made from you...AND is willing to cover TTT, admin fees etc... that all dealerships process with every car they buy and sell? Yeah right. Run away. Let some other sucker take it.

I see it this way- and I'm just pulling general numbers out of my ass for example...just to get the point across.
#1 sells car for $10k
#2 buys
#2 willing to sell for $10.5k
#2 is too lazy to put title in name
#2 sells car to dealership for 30% less; puts $7k in pocket
Dealership sells car for whatever they want to now...not in control of #2
Even if dealership now asks $9k, there is TTT/admin fees (let's say $2,000 all said and done for this), so now it's an $11k car out the door
#2 is going to eat the $2k and now have $5k in pocket when all is said and done??? Yeah right. He could have made an easy $10.5k selling it to you.
