OK I'm not exactly buying it but I am on the search for a vehicle for my FIL. He's up in Utah and I'm in SoCal. Being a larger market there are just a ton more options for available vehicles. So anyway once I have the car inspected and I come to a price how do I exchange the money for the car while not titling it in my name?
I was thinking I'd go to the FIL's bank with the owner and have the money go directly between the two of them. PO gives me a signed title and bill of sale made out to the FIL. The catch is that it'll be a month before FIL can come down to pick it up so how long do I have to register it? Obviously Utah will want to inspect the vehicle but I could get all the paperwork to him easily if they'd do a temporary somehow.
Any tips on this process?
