No Deed of Sale. Only OR/CR

**kyleguy298** · December 10th, 2017 11:07 PM

Hi, would just like to ask for advice.

I found a W126, and the seller is the 2nd owner.

The seller does NOT have a deed of sale (not even open) from the 1st owner.

He does, however, have both the original OR and CR of the vehicle. Will it still be possible to transfer the car to my name in this case without any forgeries?

Thanks

BIG NO.. try first to locate the original owner on the address indicated in the CR.

it isn't the OR/CR that transfers ownership but the deed of sale coupled with delivery of the thing sold. or/cr is only an evidence of ownership. without resorting to chicanery, i don't find any other legitimate way that that car be transferred in your name.

caveat emptor-let the buyer beware.

Great idea! I'll look for the original owner first then.

Of course....NOT!

The owner of the car is the name on the CR, I will only buy it from him. If someone has a deed of sale from the one whose name is on the CR, that person need to convince me that the deed of sale is legit.

I know someone selling the moon, wanna buy?
