Go see the car first before any cash is traded hands in any way or form. Or have the person take the vehicle to a certified dealership for that make. Have the car put on the long inspection list they have then have the results faxed to you by the dealership, not the owner of the car.
To buy strictly on pictures and text only from an email would not be wise.
If this is how you plan on purchasing the car then I have a few bridges I am willing to sell ya.

that is no longer a great difficulty- he must have given you the identify alongside with a bill of sale yet you are able to in simple terms flow to the DMV and tell them the VIN and instruct them the bill of Sale and they should be able to provide you a identify...until eventually the automobile nevertheless has a lien on it in which case you've a lengthy conflict in simple terms before you. If the employer had a loan and did not pay it off then the lender holds identify and could no longer hand it over until eventually the automobile is paid off. solid success.
