Read again - "Title, if the vehicle is model year 1995 or newer"

OP stated the model year is 1997 and the seller does not have a title.

The statute you cited is therefore not relevant to his situation.

It is possible to obtain title to a vehicle through a bonded title process. This is actually less onerous than it sounds for most used vehicles.

It’s like following a cake recipe.

“Put in oven”

Don’t have an oven? Then acquire one, or don’t make a cake.
