Re: Waste of a SVX, Need Help.

Good save!!
In some states you can go to your insurance company and apply for a "bonded" title. They check for any liens against the vehicle and if anyone rightfully claims the vehicle. I have had one that had a lien through a finance company that I couldn't get a title for, but many others with no problem.
Another route would be to run a Carfax-it should say the prior owner and if an insurance company had paid the owner. You then might be able to contact the former owner. Make sure to get reciepts for any payment made towards purchasing the car. And.... Don't spend a whole lot of money fixing it up untill you have a title. You don't want to do a bunch of work only to find out you can't get a title.
You have to be patient-it may take a while, but hopefully all works out for you!!
