The original post said $6500, not $650. If you don't have a valid title, obtaining one can be a real hassle, depending upon jurisdiction. A heavily modified car makes the process even tougher. I once bought a car from a seller who swore he had the title "somewhere". When he couldn't produce it, I started a search and found he had pledged the car to five different lenders, none of whom had been paid. I did eventually obtain a clear title, but the time and money taken was considerable. On modifed cars, the DMV in our area requires an inspection, and may include an appraisal if the claimed price raises questions. They will not accept a "title mill" document, in any case.
