educational experience. Perhaps you legal fellows or lawyers can enlighten me. So I ask for a Carfax on a Miata I am interested in. The seller sends it to me via email. It shows there is a lien on the car with the bank being the creditor.If I bought the car how would I know that he is going to apply my purchase proceeds to his loan. So I could not get a bill of sale stating that there is no liens against the car because there is. How could a person be sure of getting a clear title? Nothing worse than buying a car and I get a notice saying there is money owing on it. How does one make sure of getting clear title? Buying from a Mazda dealer may be better because they have a reputation to uphold.

Your thoughts are always appreciated!

PS Yesterday I wanted to make an offer on a Miata(also 200 miles away) and the salesman of the used car lot said he wanted my credit car number to secure the car.
With that comment I said we were done.


Likely I won't pursue either of these situations!
