Since I have once flown to pick up a car in person with CASH IN HAND only to find out the guy sold it several hours earlier, I want a piece of paper before I buy a ticket.
BTW that "someone" is on this forum!!!
If the seller doesn't want to sell with a sales contract and a clear acknowledged title, it makes me think the car and the person are suspect

wow....
and they knew you were flying in? that must have been cause for some serious rage.
Reminds me of the time I bought a "running driving" 240 off ebay. Found out the car had a busted slave cylinder, owner, (a mb tech) promised to have one installed when I came to grab the car in 3 weeks. Drove over 1000 miles with full communication with the seller and him knowing when I was turning up, him telling me it was all ready to go. Start to get alarmed as I called him a few hundred miles away with an ETA and hes sounding freaked out and shifty.
Finally arrive at the car, no working slave cylinder, car has not been fixed, owner has keys, and is not returning my calls now that im there.
Fortunately for me, he had it parked at his shop where he worked, and I went in and talked to his boss about it, telling him id be camped out there and would be calling the cops if he didn't get this guy over there to do the 30 minute repair so I could leave. Boss was even more angry at the guy than I was.
