The most important factor (IMHO) is to ensure the VIN number on the title agrees with a physically visible number on the vehicle - preferably on the engine block. If there is no title or an issue with the VIN be sure you are completely familiar with the laws in your state and check with DMV in advance. Be prepared to pass if securing a title is an issue. In general, no title - SHIELDS UP !!

I would just add to this good advise. That there are some states that do not title cars after a certain age. New York and Connecticut as an example. You would only get a bill of sale. Keep looking.
Enjoy.
