I just got an email from a friend that has a title that might be available. He has asked me to price it for him, but I have no idea what is a fair amount to ask. I will be posting an add for it on the flea market 'side'.
 
I just posted it on the swap meet side, is that illegal as well???? Where would be a good place to advertise this???

That is the amount that he is asking. Thanks for the 'heads up'.
 
In most states it is illegal to sell a title without a somewhat complete car. If caught doing so in Nebraska it carries a 90 day minimum of jail time. Not worth the risk for me. Rod
 
I assume Ryan may have removed it for me. Thanks, Ryan, sorry about the problem. I don't get here as often as I used to. I did not mean to cause any issues(s).
 
I hear that there is a unknown person out near Hershey that has some.
May not want to deal with him, he's a theft.
If you happen to run across him please notify the authorities.

Rather than paying $500 for a Title, here's what I am in the process of doing..

Get a "Bonded" Title.

I filled out an Application for a Bonded Title with the Iowa Department of Transportation. (IDOT.) The Forms in your State will tell you what they want.

In my case, It's a Bill of Sale between the Seller and Buyer (you); as many pictures to describe what you have and a picture of the Number stamped on the left rail. IDOT calls that the "VIN."

After receipt and approval of the Application, they will send you a Form to get a "Surety Bond." Find a Firm that deals in Surety Bonds. Mine cost me $100.

The Lawyer from that firm said that I will take then signed Bond with me to get a Title.

I am waiting for IDOT to determine if a visual inspection is required.

BTW, In Iowa, you can use Year of Manufacture (YOM) plates if you have them. Years must match.

Sounds like a lot of work, but I feel that I might end up with a "clearer" title.

One way..

SORRY Not True Larry., All you need to do is submit a bill of sale for a lost title..done and over!@
 
I have a bonded Colorado title and it was very easy. Too often, owners will not take the time to understand exactly how a bonded title works. As it was, I blew $400 on a couple of titles from Broadway Title that were unacceptable here. Applying for a lost title doesn't always work in some states. Even the dumbest DMV clerk will look at you sideways when you produce a "bill of sale" for a "lost" title
 
In Michigan if you try to use it you will be arrested for fraud and they confiscate the vehicle! Hardly worth taking a chance. Wayne
