I would be very carefull on this transaction... something doesn't look right.
As much as I hate dealing with the boneheads at the BMV, I say call them up and get there assistance. At a minimum, I woulkd go to them with that VIN and see if it comes back stollen or something.
Yeah I was a little worried about that after I called the BMV and they looked up the info on TX. Tell me, is there anything a person can do if it isnt stolen? What about buying a junker and switching plates....it seems to be a common practice with old cars, but is highly illegal.
