[QUOTE="ridefast, post: 491089, member: 10033"] Got a seller that is being a real piece of work, need some help figuring out if I should walk away. Here's the situation: Georgia resident selling Georgia truck. VIN is intact. Seller does not have title or registration. Story is that truck was his fathers from 35+ years ago. Father died, left truck to him. Truck has been parked for 25+ years. Title has been lost in the shuffle of life, etc. Georgia does not require title for resell, only registration and bill of sale. Tennessee will accept notarized bill of sale and Georgia registration to title/register in Tennessee. Tennessee will not accept the (notarized) bill of sale that the buyer is going to provide when/if I purchase. Was told by TN title office that if seller has previous bill of sale (from when seller/seller's relative purchased), the paper-trail requirement could be met that would allow me to do something with the truck, legally speaking. This is not confirmed. What are my options if the seller is not willing to get off his lazy ass and get the truck re-registered in Georgia? Are there any options for me to third-party register the truck to/for the seller so that he can then legally sell it to me...or something like that? Is there a way for me to do the leg-work for him? I have the VIN, I have his info. I really don't want to pass up the opportunity, but Im not going to spend a dime on something that I have no chance of putting on the road once I put in the work to rebuild it. Thanks for any help!
