The only person who can get that title, is the person it's registered to. If he just can't find it, it's $5 at the DMV for a new one.
If it's someone else not even involved, you're fucked most likely.

The person its registered under would have to sign a "bill of sale" saying they no longer want ownership of the car for you to even register it regardless.

So you'd have to track them down, yada yada, it's not easy at all and in the end, usually leads to forgery to accomplish anything.

You can always get by means of applying for an abandoned car title:

I would say to move along though, most likely not worth it. If it was the person selling it would have already done it and sold it for more.

Yeah but that's just as much of a bitch, if not more. I've been down all these roads before with different cars. If there's a situation with the title, just move along.
