This isn’t shady at all, this is what happens 75% of the time with private party sales. Guy A has a car with a loan on it. Guy A’s bank holds the title because they are the lein holder. Bank will not give back title until he pays off loan. Guy A wants to sell car, guy A needs cash from sale to pay off the loan before he can get the title. There is no reason for this alone to make you think that the deal is shady for any reason. The bank obviously isn’t going to give him the title until he gives them the money. If you aren’t willing to go pick it up and go to his bank to make the transaction then it’s a risk you’ll have to assume. :shrug: You don’t need anything other than a clean/clear title that has been released by both the lein holder and the owner, and the car (for any ness. inspection) to register it. Many states do not even require a bill of sale, although it’s good to have. ---
