A North Carolina family’s $3,000 Facebook Marketplace vehicle purchase has spiraled into an alleged paperwork nightmare. The story sparked discussions about “title hopping” on Reddit‘s r/LegalAdvice forum.
According to the post by user u/kyanite721, the buyer and his father purchased the vehicle in Wilkesboro from a body shop. Because the seller was driving the vehicle with a dealer plate, the buyers assumed he had the legal right to flip the vehicle. They paid with a physical check and took the vehicle home, expecting a routine registration.
