old bike, need a title?

[300 quadrunner]

i bought an 1987 300 quadrunner for 500 bux, ( ran like a charm, jus needed the small maintence, brakes, tires, lights, electrical) nothing to major. but the seller siad there was no title for it, that they didnt use titles back then, and so should i register it, and if so how?

[KB]

I would register it if you want to ride in public places.

Go to forum's, click on Ocala N.F. association, & I think theres a sticky on how to do it, It's not that hard just gotta go to the DMV I think.

all you is a bill of sale go down to the tag office and get a title you will have tax it cost about 35.00 and they will give you green sticker then your good to go good luck

I bought a 250R from this guy & it was titled, he knows what he's talking about.

where is the numbers located, like i said its a 1987 300cc quadrunner, and can a bill of sale just be the sellers stating he sold me the bike for so much money and i paid in cash and our signatures and thats it or am i missing something

[TRX450R_Racer]

If you date the bill of sale before 6/01/01 you will not have to pay tax.

[300 quadrunner]

ok so something like this




on 06/12/99 Seller sold an 1987 suzuki quadrunner to buyer for 400 dollars

and both signatures?

[KD 428]

Yeah, but I think you need to state the vin number on the bill of sale... Not completly sure though.

Just add the vin # and that is perfect. If they try to charge you tax say no you are wrong. My friend just went through it. They tried to charge him tax and he said I don't pay tax. They said everyone pays tax. He said you better look again. They had a meeting of the minds and went on the internet and read the link I posted and guess what..................NO TAX.

Do not let them charge you tax!

Good luck

it says no proof of sales tax is required.  Not no sales tax is required

I have paid sales tax on all 3 of the used bikes I have purchased

seems to be a gray area ,but you pay sales tax on all vehicles, boats, and street bikes with every sale, so why would they exclude atv's and no collect that tax money???

If you read and understood the whole thing you would get it. That means you don't have to pay tax. Read page 10. It is a check list of things you need to register a OHV. The check list of vehicles purchased before 7/01/01 is the only one NOT to mention TAX.

You should have only paid tax if you bought them after 7/01/01. Not knowing cost you money.



When I did my 250R I had the same problem. They wanted to charge me tax. After I got past the counter over to the cashier I had the problem all over again. She said wait you need to pay tax. I said listen I just went through this over there for 30 minutes. I said go talk to the boss. I DO NOT PAY TAX and i didn't.

got it

The seller of the bikes I bought put the current date on the bill of sale.

Im sure its not legal to falsify a bill of sale..........

I wouldn't worry about that, as long as the bike is older than 2001 you can get away with it.

[Turboderf]

TRX450_Racer is right i have done this a few times and the last one was an honda 250r 88 with a bill of sale for 2000.00 dated before 7/01/01 we had a very big meeting and 45 min. later i paid NO TAX just take a copy of this page 10 with you. I bet you will also have a very big meeting but stick to your guns paid NO TAX they frist try to get me to pay todays tax of 6.5% but that was not tax from the bill of sale from 1999 good luck

[300 quadrunner]

well found the vin number on my bike, and it isnt stolen ( thank god) n i printed out the bill of sale outline, so all i need to do now is get intouch with the seller, which will be hard since i lost his number

[TRX450R_Racer]

Just write anything with anybodys name on it. Do you think the person behind the counter cares? The only thing they are going to look at the date and vin #. Have one of your friends write it for you. I did it for Turboderf on 3 different occasions.

[Turboderf]

TRX450R_Racer there you go just send this guy one 

[300 quadrunner]

so i can have my dad as the seller ( we dont share the same last name) and i'm the buyer??? and there would be no questions asked?, doesnt the VIN number show the previous owner's information?

Yes you can have your Dad write. They will have no idea where the quad has been. You have nothing to worry about. Go for it.
