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

IF your state allows bonded titles.

FL just started allowing title bonds BUT the previous title MUST be a FL title.

That's kind of limiting and .....how can you be sure?

I assumed they applied the paperwork through various states (even if yours isn't compliant) basically accomplishing what the community DESPISED with vin plates. 'Lawyers "making" it legal.'

When I lived in Georgia I managed to register a 1991 Subaru Loyal (with cheese) without registration and a 77 volare-no one knew where these cars came from but maybe the junkyard i got the subaru from and some backwoods relative of the man that had the volare rotting in his yard.
In Texas, a 'friend' sold my 1984 buick lesabre out from under me without my title and registered the car as well.

Though I see your point, some DMV's are more relaxed (especially outside of the city) in some states than others.
