man very sad to see this thread as just saw it now
I bought mine from Texas but as this was my second purchase i bought it from nissan dealership as mine was a trade-in car, but they sent me the invoice and then i wire the money to them and then they sent me bill of sale and other papers
rest was easy getting a shipper picking then car and ship it to dubai
Did you ask him to send you the copy of bill of sale even if it was in his name?
