Buying a car without a title, but how do I get one?

I bought a 65 Barracuda out of GA a few years ago. I had the VIN checked by an NCDMV Inspector before I even went down there to look at it, and it was clean. I had to have an official GA Bill of Sale with all of the info from the last registered owner in GA to be able to get a NC title. The people I bought the car from were morons that were of no help, but I was lucky that the car had old tags on it. I had a private investigator that works for a friend who is a repo guy run the plates. The name matched some old papers I found in the glove box, so I had all the info to fill out the bill of sale and get a title.
Go to the Georgia DMV website and poke around until you find a link to the Official GA bill of sale, then save a copy and print it out and you can figure out what you need from there.
I also understand your frustration with SCDMV! My wife and I have a camper set up permanently in a campground in Myrtle Beach. We had to have 2 documents like a light bill and lot rental agreement to get a title for the camper in our names. The service address and billing address were different on the light bill because we had the bill sent to our home in NC. The DMV lady in Little River could not figure that out to save her life. I was able to get a lady from Santee Cooper to make me a redneck photoshop of the light bill showing both addresses being the one in Myrtle Beach. Went back to DMV and BAM...had a title in our name in 2 weeks! :BangHead: Good luck to you.
