Long post here sorry...
My wife and I had something similar happen. We were on the other end and purchased a car with the same circumstances. The car ended up being a lemon (engine blew up within 1 week, gallon of stop leak was all over the interior of the hood) make a long story short when we tried to track the guy down who sold us the car we couldn't find him. The title our only proof of sale had the previous owner's name on it. The guy we bought it from told us it wasn't a big deal etc.etc. Guys do this to flip cars quick and keep there name off of it. So it looks like owner #1 sold it to owner #2 when there was really 3 owners. They have friends to give them inspectoion tickets. So the car is "good". So the person who buys it in the long run is hung out to dry. We had to contact the previous owner who gave us the guys name which was fake. He even sold us the car away from any residence. But it turned out the guy wasn't a dealer it was his wife's brother in law or some crap. After threatening with legal action after I spent two weeks tracking the guy down, they purchased the car back.
I guess what I'm trying to say is no matter how trivial I always now get things done by a notary(free at my bank) and always fill out legal documents honesty.
