70 dart 340........325.00 US CURRENCY

Ya gotta be a fool not to have both parties sign and maintain a copy of a bill of sale though... if the previous owner isn't aware you're leaving the car in his name and something happens involving it, depending on the previous owner, the law might be the least of your problems.

what some guys do to circumvent stupid dmv rules, is never register a car in their name and then sign over the documents from prior owner to new owner, leaving yourself out of the transaction. if that works, and will only do so on cars you are flipping, so be it.
ya, "little yankee boy" (a quote from the movie, "my cousin vinny).
