One possibility to protect yourself if you really want to try to buy the vehicle is to buy it contingent on getting a valid title in your name. Agree on the price, put the money in escrow with escrow instruction to release the funds upon receiving the title in your name. I'd also stipulate that he accompany you to the DMV to effect the transaction, so if there is anything wrong, like a record of a stolen vehicle, he is right there to be handcuffed. If he refuses, run like heck, otherwise you might get a clean title to a nice car.
