I bought a bike couple years ago for $10k. Seller still owed $12k. I gave the bank my moneys then seller covered the remaining balance.
... What he said.

Call the Bank, verify his story. If he's telling the truth, make sure the bank is paid off, don't just give him a wad of cash and expect him to pay it off. BOTH of you go to the bank, pay off the note, let the bank send YOU the title.
