Bad car owners may often find themselves wheeling and dealing in a situation where they do not possess the title to the vehicle they are attempting to sell, primarily due to a disregard for legal requirements or a lack of responsibility. Urgent needs for cash can drive these owners to make reckless decisions, such as selling a vehicle without clearing existing liens or even purchasing a car without securing its proper title from the previous owner. Often, these sales take place on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, where oversight is minimal, and the fast lane to a quick sale can be tempting.

Moreover, such bad car owners might engage in transactions on Facebook Marketplace that sidestep the formal transfer of titles to dodge state laws or registration fees. These under-the-hood deals often occur when vehicles are acquired through informal means like trades or purchases from private sellers who also did not hold a clear title. This chain of title issues can further muddy the waters of car ownership, leaving sellers unable to provide a valid title when selling the vehicle. The lack of a title not only makes these transactions legally precarious but also perpetuates a cycle of unregistered—and often uninsurable—vehicles being steered towards similarly unscrupulous buyers on Facebook Marketplace.
