If the deal is legitimate, apply for new title. People lose title's all the time... Call your local motor vehicle department and find out the process.

I had this problem in CA but it was some time ago. I had to send a form by Certified Mail to the Title holder at their last known address.
After 10 days, it was returned because that person wasn't around to receive or sign the form.
Then the DMV converted the title to my name.
It might also be covered under abandoned property, but I think that would be a stretch.

Since the mods you are suggesting are purely cosmetic I think it's a waste of money on such an old car unless you intend to keep it forever. If you have the money to buy a new car there is no reason not to at least consider it. But going into debt just to keep up with your sister isn't a very good plan

Take it into the DMV and explain the situation. They can issue a new title if the vehicle hasn't been reported as stolen. It is kind of a hassle, though, so you should avoid buying a car without the title. If it does turn up stolen, she is out her money and could be in some legal trouble as well.

they should of gotten a new title before selling it. Best thing that you can do is try to get a hold of the owner of the car, and see what is going on, showing proff of purchase is a good thing to have, then there is something to hold water in court if it goes that far. For now, it will be hard to get insurance on it, it really all depends on what state you live in.

It's hard to give advise on this because laws very so from state to state. My concern is whether the brother had the right ot even sell the car. I agree with most others, tho. She should get to the DMV in your state. I'd go with her if I were you.

There is a lost title application, and a Vin inspection required at DMV just jump through the hoops and everything will be alright.

go to your dmv - your answer is going to depend on the state you bought it in - some states do not have titles

She is going to need to go to the BMV and present her problem they should be able to help her because I'm sure this is a common problem.
