It always raises a red flag when I see a vehicle for sale with NO LICENSE PLATE.
Be sure to confirm ownership before going further.
Yes. In Florida one must have a Title to show ownership. No title. No buy.
Meanwhile in Vermont (and at least some of the other New England states), they don't issue a title for a vehicle that is more than 16 years old.
I do agree though that showing no plate in a CL ad is a red flag. Often a little bit of googling will show the exact same vehicle supposedly for sale in several different cities in different corners of the country with identically worded ads. Other times it may not have a plate because it's not drivable without a lot of work (though usually that case is rather more obvious from the pictures and description).
