Yeah from what it sounds like from the guy I got it from. I think I am at least the 3rd owner. Possibly more. Kinda scumbagish to sell a vehicle while still holding a loan out on it. I guess I was raised with better morals and to pay my debt. Thanks guys.

I just have the bill of sale. It looks like there is still a lien on it. I contacted the lien holder and said the account has been charged off. But of course they still wont release the title. But they said I have no obligation to pay the lien nor return the property. It seems like they were letting on to something by stating that could not release the title, even if the previous owner paid it in full. Kind of odd, but nevertheless, this quad will only be ridden by me and I guess not out at Croom, unfortunately.

I don't even know if I am reading it right. It just says first lien holder on the search. It could be very well paid off. I heard I can do a mechanics lien on it. But not sure if I wanna deal with the legality of it. I appreciate it very much guys. If i don't do anything I think I will be better off to leave it as is with my bill of sale and not worry a out riding in state parks. Thanks guys.

Pretty much self explanatory, bought a quad ran the vin with the local PD and it comes back as good and not stolen Ran a check with dmv and it comes back with a lien from 2008.  Now what? I wanted to get a title and take it to Croom but I am at a standstillwith ttitle. Can anyone give some guidance? By the way I'm new here,  great resource here. I bought a 2008 arctic cat H1 650. Of course the previous owner beat it to hell and it needs new front axles and Ineed to dump the hmf pipe in llieu of the new mbrp silencer kit I just got.  Anyway,  thanks for whatever help  or guidance that will be offered.
