I bought a vehicle out of state where the owner couldn't find the title. He kept his story straight. Everything he said was very consistent, and despite the fact that the deal seemed too good to be true, it was true. If he had sounded suspicious, I wouldn't have made the 1200 mile trip. Over the internet he sounded like an idiot, but over the phone it was pretty clear that he was legitimate, or an amazingly good scammer. He and I drove to the licensing office and the bank together just so we both felt secure in our dealings.
