1) The DMV will help anyone apply for a title, IF your purchase
paperwork is in order. They can find the last known title
from the VIN, and check with the last registered owner to
make sure that it was not stolen. If it was, you may be
in for some standing around in court to get your money back,
after he is convicted of being a "fence" for stolen cars.
2) Ask about a "salvage" title. Different states have different
rules regarding this, and this may be more trouble than it is
worth.
People loose their title paperwork all the time. It is no big
deal, if you know which state it was last registered in. Plates,
inspection stckers and other scaps of paper found in the glove
compartment can often tell you the proper state at a glance.
What smells so bad? Perhaps it is the New World Odor everyone talks about.
