I'm curious as to how difficult it is. How cheap does a car need to be to take the plunge, or is it rarely worth it?

Is it already in your name? Or is this for buying a car where the seller doesn’t have the title?
If it’s already in your name, simply go to the DMV, pay $12, and they’ll print you a new title the same day. Way easier than I had expected, but it saved me a 4 hour trip to go get the title back home.
What Brandon said.
If the seller doesn't have the title, ask him to go to the DMV and they can print one out, it's not a big deal at all. Even offer to meet them at the DMV and offer to pay the $12 for it. When they balk at this, it means they never titled it in their own name, or it's not their car to sell. Run away.
