My brother found himself in a similar circumstance. He purchased a motorhome for cash and then realized the name on the title did'nt match with the seller. However the lady's name on the front of the title was also signed on the back of the title where the seller signs.
Since there is no requirement for the signature to be notorized in Texas he just signed his name as the buyer and went to the DMV and they processed it with no problem. We suspect that the seller was just a friend or previous owner that never transferred the title and had her signatures, but purposely left off the date of sale and his name as the purchaser.
If your state requires the signature be notorized you may not be able to transfer title. Also, he may have bought under the same circumstance and could not get title so he decided to pass it on, therefore the good price you mentioned. I would definately be concerned. Did you get a copy of both sides of the title?
I would be seriously thinking of canceling my check if I were in your shoes with him being rude about the questions your asking.
