Ernie,
Turk is right, the mechanic may have a lien against the car but he does not own it unless he goes to court and the court assigns the vehicle to him in lieu of the lien amount.
It IS receiving stolen property - the mechanic had no right to sell it. The mechanic effectively stole it from the customer and AsBio bought it from the mechanic.
AsBio,
I'm not trying to be a bad guy, I know you don't believe it is stolen but you need to be aware of this before you end up in very deep trouble:
Without a title, you will not be able to register the vehicle because you do not legally own it.
If the original owner ever reports it stolen - you'll be the first one in cuffs because you have it your posession. They will arrest you, seize the car and drag you through court. When it's all done you'll have no car, no cash and a record.
You asked for help - don't complain because don't like the honest answers.
