Private seller doesn't have registration. Red flag?
So we are car shopping and this is the third time this has happened. The private seller is trying to sell a car without showing us they have the car registered in their name. Twice the sellers said they cancelled it so they could transfer plates to their new vehicle.
How big a red flag is this? Should I not purchase unless they can prove they have ownership? This seller says he threw out the old registration, but only threw out the part that would have your name on it.
