I just got off the phone with him and he said the guy never gave him a title with the car.

He said he's had it for abwhile though. You think he could apply for a lost title or would the person who sold him the car have to

Unless state law in MA is different from here, a car has to be a certain number of years old before it can be legally transfered without a title. I'd check and see what the law is there, because unless the car comes under such an age law the guy you're dealing with is NOT the legal owner, the guy he got it from still is as far as the state is concerned.

Here's another link about this...

Caveat Emptor dude. Don't hand this guy a damn thing until you know for sure what's going on.

Apologies for thread necromancy but just gotta ask, what came of this "deal"?

I'm guessing nothing, it's strange though. You hear all the time about people wasting your time "tyrekicking" when you sell a car (indeed I'm the 7th person who was "going to to buy" my new toy, the rest vapourised...) but very rarely will it be a seller who's the one taking the mick...
Actually this is only the second case I've heard of, the other being a Volvo 240 that the seller decided to keep after shaking on a deal.

Nothing happened with the deal. I was ripped to say the least.

Not even a month later I went to trade my silverado for a ram with a 360. Shook hands with the guy and the deal was on. I got an email saying his dad didn't want him to do it. Days layer the truck was on craigslist again. If he didn't live an hour away I would have flipped but it's not worth the drive or the gas.

Dude, you must have the worst luck in the world. Getting screwed by one "seller" is bad enough, but oh man... Maybe someone's trying to tell you that you have a good car & should stick with it?

Hope a "real" Supra comes your way soon, they're awesome cars & I love mine even though it's shat it's HG after virtually no miles!
