I know the subject of getting a clean title in YOUR name prior to putting a bunch of money in a car has been been talked about before.

How would you have liked to have bought this one, sunk a bunch into it then tried to tranfer the title? You would likely get your money back from the seller for the purchase price, but anything you put into it would be gone.
