I got suckered into buying a car without a title - the scum bag dealer told me that the car was old enough that a notarized bill of sale was ok. Then I go to register it, and the state of GA will not issue plates because apparently it was abandoned, then picked up and sold by a salvage company. GA said no matter what, they will never issue plates for it. Of course the dealer never returns calls, and I would have to go back and forth to the town he is in to take him to small claims court. I now live in FL. I talked to a salvage dealer down here, he said all the DMV computer systems are connected and I can't register it down here either AND I have to have a title to even sell it for scrap. He told me to take it somewhere and abandon it! So I have a 1984 Prelude with 77K miles that runs great but is less than worthless.
So if I make ANY money in a day, it is enough to buy A car.
