If it is stolen or has liens against it, you leave yourself open to
issues you won't want to deal with.

Take the VIN number and pictures of the car, If it has a license plate

and a lien search.
Talk nice to them.. you might have to bump it up to a supervisor to get
results, but with the VIN number they can find if there is a title, if it
was reported stolen, or if there is a lien.. What they won't do, is reveal
the name of the title holder, or lien holder..
They can't give that out.
But, it's a place to start.. If possible, trailer the car to the DMV
office, and let them look it over... It's a pain to go through those steps,
but will lay groundwork for filing for a lost title, or other methods to
gain legal registered ownership [with registration and license issued].

How would you know that he owns it and it has no liens? Can you do some
sort of searches that would satisfy you that you are not buying into
trouble?

I feel with that one you would just show up with $1000, not say a word,
exchange key for money, ask no questions, don’t pop the hood do nothing and
drive away.
