When I bought my Lemans, even with a notarized title in hand for transfer, I still had to spend about half an hour at the MVD with the car on a trailer while they inspected cowl tag, vin plate, and door vin for serial numbers to make sure it wasn't some sort of chop shop special. They even got out some paint stripper to check a painted over tag. I narrowly missed getting the body cavity search and DNA profiling.

I guess AZ is "special", and they don't do things like that in them there parts of Kentucky.

Marxjunk, that was an interesting insight about the auction thing. It seems, tho, they would risk scaring away potential real buyers who aren't so "hip" to the method.
