87redz13 bought the car knowing that mini never put the title in his name.

87, if you know how to get in touch w/ the original owner on the title, do so because technically he/she still owns the car. If that person lives locally, arrange to meet up w/ them at the DMV whenever it's convenient for the both of yous and the DMV will be able to fix the problem right then and there. Just make sure that you bring money w/ you to pay for the title transfer.

Same scenario happened w/ me when I bought my coupe except that there were 2 people in between me the actual owner. Person A sold it to person B. B signed the buyers spot and never registered but yet sold the car to person C. C couldn't do shit w/ a car he couldn't register, (why the stupid fuck bought it in the first place, who knows) so he sold it to me. I new what I was getting into so I took the gamble and it fortunately worked out for me. Sorry for blabbering.

But yea, if mini doesn't want to help w/ the problem at hand, try to get in touch w/ the person who's name is on the title. If any problems occur, he me up, I'll help you out
