good morning tsikoters, if you happen know this or perhaps if you have connection in LTO im asking for your inputs about this

im about to buy a second hand car,everything is all set, the problem is this car is open deed and the seller doesnt have a copy of TIN ID or TIN NUMBER of the original owner. my friend told me i might have a hard time transfering the car in my name since theres no tin on the deed of sale.

so if they are unable to locate the first owner anymore to get the
TIN NUMBER is there any way on registering this car to my name then?

the open deed was dated since 2007,during that time LTO was not requiring TIN NUMBERS of vendee and buyer on deed of sale, so theres my dillema
Any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
