Stop in for a cup of coffee

So, Im thinking of asking my wife to let me purchase a winter beater... I found a Ramcharger that was a old Casino security vehicle. The owner doesnt know anything about it, but my brother knows the person and is willing to go check it out for me. The only thing the owner said he knew about it was that the trans slipped, but the body is in great condition. He doesnt know a year, engine, if he has the keys and he thinks he has the title. Only wants $600 for it. I told him if he doesnt have a title Im not interested.
