From experience, never buy a car without the car being in the name of the person you are buying from... Even if said person is your best friend...
Easiest will be to take the car for police clearance and hope that neither the body or engine has been reported as stolen. Then register on your name. To run around trying to get the ID of the original owner and then try to confince him to sign the change of ownership is not worth it. Just get the police clearance, it takes a day out of your schedule, be there early (before 06:00) and you will be out of there by 12:00

Doesn't want to or hasn't got?
Go to SAPS and ask the best route as the vehicle could be stolen or recovered from a non payer.
If the vehicle already reported stolen and you get caught with it in your possession you could be in a ton of shyte.

Same as before, go get police clearance and put the car on your name.

Ouch... Best bet, go for the clearance and hope that it has not been stolen. If it has been stolen, they will seize the vehicle then you will have to take the legal route to attempt to get your money back from the seller...
