O/T Advice for aquiring an XT6

I'm in the process of getting a free 2wd XT6 from a guy in VA. It runs and looks fine for its age and 152k. Needs tires and the drivers auto seatbelt motor. Problem is he doesn't have the title. He bought it from a buy here pay here dealer in Oregon and move to Virignia and stopped paying on it. They have a lien on the car and have the title. He owes $750 on it yet but the guy I spoke to at the dealer said they'd probably make a good deal on it for me. He's gonna speak to the owner and let me know what they'd settle it out for. What would everyone think would be a fair offer. Consider that shipping from VA to OR would be $450ish if they can even track down the car before he parts it out at the end of the month, the wholesale value of a 88 XT6 is $300 and I can just walk away and they'd get nothing out of it. Also, how can I be sure that they would sign off the lien and send me the title? Think a notorized letter stating the agreement would work? Thanks. I'm already missing the Justy and its still in my driveway.
