usually the person who files the lean must register for a title in a set amount of time. Get the lien paperwork, and ask someone who knows the local laws.

How did you find out that the previous owner still has the title?

The guy selling it told me he did. But like I said he hasn't talked to the guy in over 5 years so the title may not even exist anymore.

Shawn,

Who has the storage lean? I bought a bravo here is CA & was told straight-up that they didn't know the previous owner. It had CA plate & the DMV will tell what they can (no personal address or ph#) for a mere 15 bucks. The record said that the previous owner had never declared stolen. I went in there armed only with a bill-of-sale (make copy they want the original). They had me fill out a form I had never seen before. The bottom half of the form was nothing but blank line for me to detail my circustances. About 4 weeks later, I had the ID card.

A storage lien is used for more legit cases. Example, I took my chevy pickup in to have the engine replaced (well over 100K miles). I signed a piece of paper (if you read the fine print) that said it was theirs & they can hold it and charge me for the repairs PLUS storage if I could not make good on the 4K repair bill.

Basically, if hasn't reported stolen for years, he has no case. He sold it & and traffic court would back you.

I live in fl also just make sure the guy that has it writes you a bill of sale. You can get the bill of sale at the tax collector.

I think my friend Kevin rides with you guys, he's the one that gave me moped fever. I will be there Tuesday night, Kevin is going to let me borrow one of his various motorized 2-wheeled vehicles since I was unable to get the Tomos..
