I think you need to help him find the right car. The search is part of the whole adventure and you can be a part of it.

Teach him that you don’t save money on a cheap car. You know how to tell a car that’s been taken care of and one that hasn’t. The hard part is finding the one that wasn’t beaten and without stupid modifications. Most importantly when the right opportunity is there teach him not to hesitate.

This is so similar to finding a cool 60s or 70s car in the 80s when they were just used cars.

To answer your question: I’d stay way from any of these questionable title issues.
