The process for a bonded title here in IL is not so bad, if you have a friend that is a licensed auto dealer registered to sell used cars here in IL, and a friend that can run the numbers through the police data base before parting with your money.

If the panel was ever sold with a lean against it, you will have to seek out that lean holder and have then sign off on it, and if it was ever reported as stolen, it goes back to the person it was stolen from, or their insurance company.

Any of the above circumstances exist, they are reason enough to leave the panels stay where they are sitting.
