I intend to buy used car from former coworker. I reside in NJ. He is/was the owner of the car.
He resides in NY. The car was registered in NY. He only has a notarized copy of a title. Original title is lost. Obtaining a replacement title could take up to 90 days, according to NY DMV. There is time restriction for me to buy, since the car was sent to the auction about 3 weeks ago. We can monitor the car online, - not ready for sale. The car was at police 'pond' for 3 years. He will officially pay for a Release of the car from police. He can not get car insurance in his current situation, and as such, can not register the car in his name.
I have valid NJ driver license and insurance. We don't have any place to store the car, so I need all paperwork to park on the street.
I would appreciate your opinion, on correct way to buy this car from him.
