If you buy a truck out of state

I'm looking at a truck to buy from out of state, but it's just an old old antique truck not worth very much.

I was wondering if anyone has any idea, if you buy a truck like that from out of state is there a way to do the payment and all of that securely without actually going there?

In this case they have to apply for a title for the truck, so I suppose I should call the notary maybe they can help with setting up the payment, Etc?

If anyone has done this or has any idea about how to securely make the payment and make certain you receive the title and make sure that the whole thing goes smoothly, please let me know.

How does one do that if it's a situation you don't actually go there?

 

I wholeheartedly agree with you guys and thank you for your straightforward answer.

This truck may be a little unique in that way because I know this truck has been in their family for generations, and I can understand how something that old that's been sitting, the paperwork from generation to generation disappears.

And sometimes people aren't as well thought out as us fellows that are in this business.

My feeling is that he put the truck up for sale just thinking it's old and didn't even think twice about the title.

At any rate there's paperwork that he has to fill out and if he submits that, that should take care of the title part of it.

Thank you for the responses.

Now that I'm saying this out loud, I'm going to call the notary there tomorrow and see what their idea is about all this.

 

Great idea.

I'll call the bank tomorrow morning.
