Too bad I'm so far away, and they don't have a title. Plus they claim the transmission is good, how would they know if the engine is gone LOL.

I run across this a lot here in Idaho. A vehicle for sale but claim to have lost the title, I don't understand why it is people can't keep track of important documents.

Any seller that is suggesting you can switch VINs is NOT a seller to be trusted one bit. Run !

Get the VIN and run a carfax on the rig. If the title is lost but in the clear, it's not that tuff to get a duplicate from the issuing state. It's also not that hard to get a new title in a different state as long as the vin tag is still attached in the original position. If it ain't RUN!!

I would not buy that B2.

That lost title part is ridiculous. People pull that crap out here all the time, they go get a bunch of title loans on a car, fail to pay them off and then sell it cheap before it gets repossessed. Thus the new "owner" ends up with a vehicle that they can't even get a title for until the PO's liens are paid off.

It is actually illegal in SD to sell stuff like this. It's called title skipping. You either have a title in YOUR name, or you can't sell the car because you're not the legal owner of it.

Scam .Scam .Scam .. If the title is not part of it it's prob stolen. Not worth the money or headache.

I'll never buy a vehicle without a title. To many loops to jump through, plus the added risk involved. My $0.02

I highly doubt it's stolen (although who knows.) It's probably just a case of the owner being way too deep in a vehicle that he can't get paperwork for and deciding to dump it. Seen a couple friends get caught up in that mess, not a good deal.
