5 questions to ask when buying a vehicle online Here quoting
Question number one wrote:
1. Do you have the title in hand?
It is not uncommon to be told that a vehicle's title is "in transit." At a used auto auction, this is a fancy term indicating that the auction house has physical possession of the car, but it does not actually have the title in hand. Sometimes this is due to the auctioneer's failure to apply for a clean title early enough before the auction. At other times, it is a possible hint that there are some problems with the car's history that have not yet been resolved. Do not buy a car without a title. If you do, you will not be able to properly register it or even legally sell it.
Best of luck to you...
