Legal title

[ddragon63]

It's the vin (vehicle identification number) here that follows the vehicle; any other number will vary state by state...

This is usually only in two places on a bike (frame/motor), but up to six on a car/truck. God help you if they don't all agree during a inspection.... at least some places.

I remember having to take vehicles thru the inspection booth @ the WA DOT if you bought one from Oregon... What PITA! We just quit shopping in Portland. now with computer tracking inspection from out of state is a thing of the past. Except when I bough my Jet Boat from Oregon City. They don't have to license trailes in OR so I had to take the boat off the trailer and take the trailer in for inspection.

FYI, the monarch owns a Brit's loyalty but not his stuff.

Not always (ask Charles I) . These days, many people would happily do without the monarchy.... but it's such a good tourist attraction. It probably costs less to run than Disneyland, I suppose.

Unfortunately the way things have gone here in the USA many would probably like to do a whole sale swap out of our government too and they cost much more than Disneyland. How ever they most times act like they are a tourist attraction and can even find character similarity like Mickey Doppy Goofy and Dumbo.

Many people are caught out by that... you buy a vehicle and get the reg doc. from the registered keeper, only to find a repo man taking it away from your drive because it was on finance and therefore did not belong to the keeper!

That's not as big a problem here. The bank (or other financing organization) gets the title until the note is paid off. THEN the "Owner" gets his clear title.

And a couple live in the White House sometimes. But, we have the ability to change that every 4 years.

Buyer beware

My cousin was hit with that scam he got a dump truck from a guy and waited 3 months to go to deal with the title. What the guy with the truck had done was get a replacement title. With the replacement title he had gotten a loan against the truck. He then sold the truck cheap to my cousin with the original title for cash. When my cousin went to get the title that is when the fun started.

I just bought my xj from a guy in ohio. I live in indiana he had to sign the title and have it noterized once I got it I fill out my portion. Then I have go to my local police station give them five dollars and they send a officer to my garage to look at my bike and title to make sure the vin numbers match. Then he fills out a paper saying its matching. Then he calls my vin number in to be checked to make sure its not stolen. Then I take the paper and my title to hell...( the bureau of motor vehicles) and spend three hours waiting for 3 minutes of work by a pissed off employee. Then I pay about 50 dollars and go home and stand by my mailbox for two weeks hoping for my plate to show up. Its a screwed up system that needs some help. Once you get your plates then you only have to go down to hell...(the bureau of motor vehicles) once a year. You give them another thirty dollars and hope you get a sticker and not have to wait for new plates. I'm thinking about getting a personal plate like (1982xj or xj1100) or something along those lines. I'm sure that will be a little extra though. Anyways that's how you do them indiana. Huntington county anyway.
