Just pass on it, it is only one of thousands for sale in MA. If MA is anything like MN (I'm sure it's similar), you'll be required to do a Title search and anything the DMV doesn't like will send you spinning in circles.
A couple of years ago I got ahold of a reasonably nice cargo trailer. The owner gave me a Title that was never transferred to him but had the previous owner's signing off and all of the other items correct. When I visited the registration center it was like pulling teeth to get an answer to how to accomplish title in my name. The counter clerk actually said, "Well, it's like taking your chances and in this case you lost". I'm only trying to pay the correct licensing and title transfer fees and make this a usable item. It's like they don't want my money, sheesh.
