So if there is no title and the seller doesnt know who the owner was how could you legally buy it? It has to belong to someone doesnt it?

Selling someone else's car for parts. Thats similar to stealing / selling the parts.
Least IMO. I remember reading once in the magazines, that one guy left his 91 tsi awd as he went over seas. Came back to his 10k mileage car sittin in garage brand spanking new.
But damn, that would be one hell of a steal. 3.5k miles.

The fact that it is in PA and has no rust on the exhaust tips tells me it might really have 3k miles. But then again, why would a 3k mile car have the 'sleepy eyes' mod done to it?
I'd also be suspicious as to how the seller obtained it.

Sounds like a scam to me, if he truely just found the car in a garage a simple call to the police or DMV could point him in the direction of the owner.

I think if a car is in your posession for 7 years or something like that it's legally yours. It's a pain in the ass to obtain the title but it can be done. My friend bought a "classic" and super popular vw scirocco that was in all these magazines in the 80's from these people in Shakopee that had it at their storage. The guy dropped it off like in 91 and never came back so they ended up selling it to my friend after doing whatever they needed to do to get the title.

This however seems like a scam... but there's too many variables to determin for sure. It would be awesome if it wasn't though.
