Well... I've sold several vehicles with a bill of sale only, and I'm pretty sure the I'm a legitimate seller.

Usually, vehicles sold on a BOS are "project or parts" cars (as were mine). I would never purchase a $10k Westy without title, however, it is very common for project or parts cars to transfer ownership via a BOS.

Cheers,

Jeff

So, why do such a thing? A legitimate seller has title, and can transfer it to you. Not true? Methinks it is.
