Question about buying a used car

This week I found a used car on Craigslist that I really like. The price looks good and the car seems well taken care of. However there is one small problem.

The seller says his credit union still has a lien on the car because he hasn't finished paying off his car note. So basically the bank possesses the title, and I will be paying the bank the remainder of what's owed on the car. He claims that once the remainder of the loan is paid off, the bank will electronically forward me the title. He also says the bank is willing to give me a notarized bill of sale.

Is this normal or sketchy? I am almost tempted to say forget it and walk away.

It's normal when going through a local credit union...just make sure you sign the paperwork at the credit union with both parties in front of a notary.

This. Any transaction without full understanding and agreement should not be done. If the CU is not involved formally run away. I would personally not bother and move on but if it's a sweet deal and the price is right i understand the predicament.

Don't do it. I wouldn't assume his loan unless you go into the bank and they agree to transfer everything to your name. Otherwise get your own loan and meet him at his bank to pay off his loan and the title will be reissued to your bank and once you pay it off they will sign off on the title and hand it to you. Craigslist is full of scammers, proceed with extreme caution.

I ended up going through his bank and bought the car. They gave me a notarized bill of sale and letter guaranteeing the physical delivery of the title with a notary stamp. The title is registered to me through the state of GA; they just have to mail me a physical copy.

The car is an 08 Acura TL Type S with the rare 6-speed manual, and it was a pretty good deal, so I am definitely excited. Thanks for the advice everyone.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.

      Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
