GrMeyer Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I have a thing with buying shit that dont have titles. I dont!!! Quote
1tonstroke Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 I think you can take it to a local law enforcement office and they can check it to see if its in there database. You definitely don't want to buy it then find out because they will for sure just take your shit. Quote
BansheeRider87 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 I just recentally had to do it but it was because the title was in a fire. But call you local po po and theyll come to the quad where ever it is. They wont do vin check over the phone or at the station. They have to physcialy look at it. Then they check it and if its clear title thell give you a piece of paper stating the vin is clear. You then go to the dmv and show them that along with what forms are needs and youll get a title. I had to go through it and it wasnt that hard. But if its stolen theyll take it right then and there. So if the guys selling it ask him if you can have a vin check and see what he says. He might say yes and everythings cool, or he might get sketchy and say no..... which means its stolen. Quote
MistBanshee Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) One will tell you a cop can tell you but then when you ask a cop. He will tell you to call the DMV however the DMV will tell you after being on hold for 30 minutes, they can't do it. You have to bring the bike in to the DMV and they will run the vin, then it comes back stolen and the bike gets impounded and you could be in trouble. You can always go down with the guy who wants to sale it and try to get it ran that way. You will then have to get all the paper work from the DMV to be able to get a BONDED Title. This requires you to mail the guy just a dang certified envelope nothing needs to be in it. This in which he must sign for, that part comes back to you in a few days. Now you must get a Bonded Title about $100 bucks takes 5 minutes for paper work. Now you get to go back to the DMV with everything and the certified paper to get your real title. Finally you can get your plates and now that AZ has the "have to have tags law" on your ATV you get to buy that too. You may be able to find a place that can do all the bond,title,plates and tags. I get my plates & tags at a third party place no DMV lines and BS. Good Luck :biggrin: Edited March 12, 2009 by MistBanshee Quote
