[MBZ] '86 300E 5-speed in NY

who cares, titles are easy to get.

REALLY? Explain, please. This could open up a new world of car purchases....

Here in Oregon, if someone buys a car with an Oregon title, all that person 
has to do is to send a certified letter to the last known address of the 
previous owner.  If it comes back undeliverable, DMB will grant a title.  I 
don't know what happens if the person still lives there (always been lucky 
enough, I suppose.  Obviously, if the car was stolen from the person, you're 
probably S.O.L.  I like going to the DMV with the seller or at least have a 
bill of sale to work with when there's no title.
