Buying a car - is this legal?

Why are you transferring the car just to junk it???
All state laws are different about selling a car for scrap, the yard I worked at here in NC, here's what we had to do when a scrap car came in, we had to write down the vin # and make a copy of the sellers driver license, the seller didn't have to have any other info or paper work like the title or even a bill of sale.. If you know the car isn't hot, I'd buy it, junk it out and cut it up for scrap, if it's totally cut up into a pile of metal it isn't considered a car anymore at the scrap yard...
