I purchased a motorcycle on 03/02/07 at sellers residence in AR, I live in Tulsa, OK (about 5hrs away). I paid him $4,800.00 in cash and he provided me with a bill of sale stating that he has received the cash and will send the title once he receives it from the lien holder. I still have not received the title, I can not tag or drive this motorcycle till I receive a lien free title. I have called and emailed seller multiple times and he has not responded. I have also sent a certified letter to the above address, still no response. I know this wasn't the best decision to go about things, but I have never had any problems in the past and I have learned my lesson. I need help with this issue. Can anyone help and give me some good advice to resolve this problem? Thanks!Seller will not send title to motorcycle. Can anyone provide some advice?
You will NEVER get a title until the lender is paid what's owed them. Good luck.
If you contact them, (the lender) you will lose the bike, as they want it back so they can auction it.
You're screwed.Seller will not send title to motorcycle. Can anyone provide some advice?
contact your local dmv for advice.
the jerk probably used the money for things other than paying off the debt. he probably had a drug deal brewing, purchased some dope and then, used it instead of selling it. - what a jerk!
well I would start by finding out who the lien holder is. Find out if they have been paid off which right now if they have not thats the bigger issue. it they have not they still, technically own the car and you could be out the car and the money. You have a real issue here. Usually what I tell people is to make the check out to the lien holder and let the lien holder make any over payment to the seller. That advice is a little late now. Bottom line your going to have to track this guy down as well as the lender. You may wind up having to sue him for the money and many states will not let you do that if your an out ofstate buyer. For example NY lemon law is only available to NY residents. So if you buy a car in NY and take you reside in NJ and the car blows up on the way, you have no recourse under the law. You need to check with the AR police as well.
I'm really sorry to hear this story.I can only imagine the anxiety you have about this.We both know it's time to stop waiting for this guy to come through and let him know he's got 24 hours to hand back your cash or you're going to talk to the police.He has committed a criminal act,you need to prosecute. Good luck
You are stuck, big time. The only way you will get a title is if the lienholder releases interest and that is not going to happen, they would lose money on the deal. The whole thing boils down to the fact, that the seller was able to convince you to buy something that was legally not his to sell. He has spent your money, and walked from his lender. You have a bike, that you cannot legally drive, and you are out damn near $5,000dollars. INSANE, why would you do that? One of the first things I would want to see besides the object I want to buy, is the title, not the seller saying he'll get it. You should have gone to the lender right there, before you gave your money away, and inquired of the balance owed, and if the title was available. This is an expensive lesson to learn, I hope you got it this time.
You need to check with the office that issues titles in Oklahoma...
In Texas, you can apply for a lost title as long as you can prove you own the vehicle, a bill of sale is sufficient.
