zx3vfr Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 You have to have the title. Good luck getting it. Force the seller to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millertime83 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 The seller said he bought it as a dirt bike and has never had a title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_racing_guy Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 He lied or purchased it out of state if he is the original owner. In Ohio titling began in July 1999 for all bikes and quads. Every unit sold since then has a title. Many people don't have the title transferred into their own name to avoid paying sales tax on the bike. Run the VIN here to see if anything comes up. https://ext.dps.state.oh.us/BMVOnlineServices.Public/TitleSearch.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.504 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 You no title no bike guys are outrageous. A ton of bikes are never titled. You can buy a bike no title brand new and just receive an MSO. Some dealers are weird about it, but you can do it this way. Whenever I buy a bike no title, I run the VIN through a local PD to ensure no criminal activity associated with the VIN, then I purchase for far less, because it does drop value if no title.You can file for a lost title in Ohio. Go to your local title office and get the ball rolling on it.If the bike was never titled (common with OHV rigs) you'd need to locate the MSO (can be printed from original selling dealer) but when you go to title it, you'll owe taxes on original sale price.

redkow97 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 The last registered owner can apply for a lost title, not just anyone.Ohio makes changing off-road to on-road titles easy, but it's nearly impossible to get a title re-issued to anyone other than the last owner the state has on record.

motocat12 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 How good of a deal is it? If it's one of those must sell need cash ads, A thief could be trying to hock it before the owner gets back from holiday vacation and reports it stolen...

Millertime83 Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Well it's a xr650r 2000 model real clean 1800 dollars. I have been trying to find one for a couple months that is street legal a xr400 or 600. I only have about 1800 to spend so I figured that was a good deal.

The only way I know for someone (other than the person the state has on record) to get a title reissued is a mechanic's lien. Even then there are plenty of hoops to jump through.

redkow97 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 If it's a great deal, you could still buy it and then find another titled frame to swap everything over to - but that is almost never a cheap process. Titled frames go for $400+ on eBay, and shipping them isn't cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.504 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Try the information posted on this website http://www.dmv.org/oh-ohio/replacing-a-lost-title.phpIt has a phone number to call that has information on replacing a title after purchase of a vehicle that doesn't have a title, but does have a bill of sale.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 If your seller provided you with a bill of sale but no title, contact the State of Ohio's Titling Support and Dealer Licensing Section as soon as possible. These offices can be reached at by phone at (614) 752-7671. ...but I suspect they're still just going to walk that owner through the lost title application process. When he says "I didn't get a title with it when I bought it," then what? They need the name of the prior seller, and they will keep hunting until you get back to a recorded (registered) owner. Tracking those people down is a huge pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 No title, no buy. I was about to buy a car one time when the guy said; "I'll need a couple weeks to get my soon-to-be ex-wife to the sign the title over." Remembering how much crap a buddy of mine had to go through to sell a jointly-owned vehicle during his divorce, I told this guy to call me when he had the title signed by her and I'd bring the cash right over, I lived 1/4 mile down the road. Never heard from him again. It's going to need a title if you want to run it on the road. You will have to go back to the last person who had a title on it and have that person request a duplicate title and sign it over to you. Has it ever been titled? I know the Ohio BMV will allow you to list title summary info based upon VIN. Does WV have the same thing? How much money are you saving versus buying a bike with a title? How much time will you spend getting it titled? What will you do if you can't get it titled? Or worse, if it comes back stolen or has a lien on it? No title, no buy.
