how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Worst thing I've ever done, with a vehicle, is get a speeding ticket. And that was in 1987.

I've got a question for the group.
I always watch marketplace for vehicles to trade.
I almost always see a truck for sale that is an everyday driver to the current owner. Yet they don't have a title for it. Never got one. Yet the truck has license plates on it.
How are they doing this?

I have no idea. Sounds fishy. I would stay away.

It is possible they had a title at one time and lost it. You don't need a title to re-tag your car every year in OK once it is registered in your name (with a title the first time of course).

I don't touch any vehicle that doesn't have a title.
And I don't take "Open " titles either. One that has been signed but no date. The 87 Wing I traded for was one of those. The guy had a signed title that was 10 years old. I made him go get it in his name first before we completed the trade.

I've been looking casually for a Jeep CJ-2A. I've found that about 60% of them don't have a title. Some of them look to have had a substantial amout of money invested in restoring them even though they have no title. I checked with our MVI inspector that comes by monthly and he said that getting a title would be pretty involved and suggested that I avoid them.

Yeah, I've looked into what it takes to get a title for a vehicle that doesn't have one. It's doable, but there's a TON of legal hoops to jump through.
It's just not worth messing with.
I've also read about getting a "Bonded" title. There are companies that specialize in these. You pay a fee, typically $200-500, and they issue you a title. Then you wait for 2-3 years and if no one comes forward with the original title then you are issued a regular title from the state you live in. Still sounds complicated and still a risk.

And I don't understand why someone would put that much time and money into rebuilding/restoring something that has no title.

One guy on another group thought there be no way that I'd gas and oil the saw and run it.
BTW, it oils like the Exxon Valdez.

Drizzle off and on through the night and still raining here!

My 50 model Chevy pickup that I had for a couple of decades never had a title only a bill of sale. That vehicle still does not have a title . Titles were not issued until a certain date but I don't know what it is. My DMV here said if a vehicle had ever had a title it must maintain a title. The banks here push titles on four-wheelers and boats. That way they have a foot in the fight if they need to repossess. But on that note I would not buy a vehicle without a title these days. Most of the pawn shops here will loan against a vehicle title and allow you to keep the vehicle. What a scam

MD 07 of ‘12, 45cc. MS250? MS251?

I don’t remember if a 250 had a purge bulb. [emoji848]

Scored front and back. Can’t decide if it’s worth $60 in parts & shipping to fix.

You tell the owner to get a title or no deal. It is their responsibility

No rewind starter or AF cover to tell me wtf it is.

Mostly I can get upside down in it.
