Would like to run this by ya'll and see what u think or maybe any suggestions....want to buy a 2003 TT from a private owner and he is the question. cost of trailer is 6000.00 and we settled on a price and its what we have been looking for. NOW, the TT is in las vegas but the title and reg is from OR. since they moved here 2 months ago and the title is held by a finance com there since they had it financed. SOOOOO they want the 6000 in cash and in turn will pay off the finance com and have the title sent to me in about a week. I know i don't like it but its the trailer we have been looking for. SO and suggestions as to how i can protect myself legally in the event something goes wrong? any other way that we can handle this matter?thanks for any suggestions

Is there a local branch of that finance company? If so, do the transaction in their office. Or, look up the lender online and call them to verify how they want to handle the transaction. They may want you to do an electronic funds transfer to them instead of paying the seller. Having the title sent from the lender direct to you is fine, IF you know where to reach the seller so he can sign it for transfer. Without the seller's signature, you probably will not be allowed to transfer it to your name.You will want to make every effort to protect yourself. It is quite possible that you will wind up with a trailer and just a Bill Of Sale, no title, or a title with a lien on it.Perhaps I am just paranoid, but unless I could be absolutely sure that the transaction will go well, I would walk away.

I'm sure they're fine people but do you trust them $6000 worth, or whatever you settled on? I would get the name of the facility holding the title, call them and ask them how to proceed so you can get the title transferred back to the owners. I would not give anyone $6000 cash and trust that everything gets done correctly. Maybe a wire transfer to the holding facility, or cashier's check. Talk to your financial institution and see how they suggest your proceed.

Do the deal at his finance company. That way you make sure the rig is paid off.

OK AS REQUESTED A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF THE TRAILER'
it might not be for everyone but it hit every check mark on our list to get. 28ft long
1 slide
2 entry doors
rear bath
open floor plan
light weight, only 4200lbs dry weight since i only have a 1/2 ton ram truck
smooth outside sidewalls
low price
couch and dining room table
electric jack
queen walk around bed in the front

it has all this and more and in great condition plus 1 year old tires.
here are a couple pictures if i remember how to post.

PICTURES ARE A LITTLE NARROW BUT THE TT HAS A NICE WIDE WALK WAY IN IT AND IN THESE PICS THE COUCH IS DOWN SO EVEN MORE ROOM WHEN CLOSED...

THE OUTSIDE PIC REALLY MAKES IT LOOK NARROW MUCH MUCH LONGER.. IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME THE CORRECT SETTING I CAN RE POST THEM

To keep the proper aspect ratio
Just set the width, do not set the height
I removed the height setting
And set width at 640
