The third party, Caramel, handles the entire transaction. They receive the funds from the buyer. Then the seller sends the title to Caramel. The seller signs a power of attorney for Caramel. Caramel receives the title and transfers it to the buyer. I assume the buyer also gives POA to Caramel. I didn't understand why our signing the title should matter. Maybe because we couldn't be present at the DMV? Missouri DMV also said there shouldn't be a problem. It all would have worked just fine if they would have given me explicit instructions immediately. I own not reading and seeking understanding of the process. Lesson learned.

I recently bought a wrecked 2013 Camaro SS through Ridesafely. Ridesafely is a broker. They purchased from Copart on my behalf. Caramel should take some pointers from them. They were very thorough in leading me through the entire process. They had a checklist to make it very clear. Each point turns green when it's completed in sequence.
