You'd be surprised....
So many people float titles when they start collecting cars. Then, they get sick or die and we're left scrambling for titles. I refuse to use those online title services or "buy a title" places so I've walked away from a number of "great" deals. But when I broker a sale or a purchase, one of my first questions is regarding the title.
The 3 Maseratis I'm selling today have titles, somewhere in a drawer, in a 9K sq ft warehouse full of file cabinets... I'm looking for a needle in a hay stack. It sucks.
