alright I picked up my 01 929 yesterday and I get all the way down there and he hands me a piece of paper that is a michigan scrap title. what can I do about this? I think I can go to the dmv and have them check it out and then then get them to stamp a new vin? but I was wondering has anyone on here done this in va yet?
hte frame seems to be straight and it rides straight so would you please help me! and I have searched goggle but Im not very good with computers.

 

You did know that it had a salvage title before you went down there to buy it correct?

 

most states will want a reinspection of some sort. for what you paid, its still a good deal.

Doesn't sound like it.

 

no i showed up 8 1/2 hours later and we worked everything out and then he hands me the paper and i was like wtf? but its all good iguess.

 

You didn't ask if it was a clear title beforehand?

Next time ask about the title before you buy a bike. That is very important!
Does the "scrap" title even look real?

 

yeah it looks real and I ran a carfax and it was indeed totalled. so how can I check to see if it is stolen? would it show up on the carfax?

 

it would show up stolen. you should be good as long as it doesn't say certificate of destruction.

 

 

Whatever happened to due diligence and caveat emptor?
