He paid Paid $1500 for the car but WV DMV wouldn't accept that price unless he had a notarized letter, and seeing that the man who's name was on the title was in Iraq, that wasn't possible. So he had to pay taxes on book, it was a little more then $8000.

Your car, If it were mine, $6000-6500 on an S Chassis Forum, $6500-7000 on anything.

That's kind of his fault for choosing to buy it, or did he find all of that out after picking the car up?
