Lucky I feel for you. Bought a boat last weekend (not TBH) and was told the title was clean and trailer registered. Both registrations were expired but at least the guy had the title in his name. I made him sign a bill of sale for the trailer which should not be big enough to require a title. He acted funny about it but did it.
Went to register and was told that license plate pulled up a trailer that was titled to him. Ok so call and ask him to find it then he fesses up that he pulled that plate off his utility trailer and never did really register the boat trailer. Now I have to jump through hoops if I ever want to get the dang thing on the road. Never again Bonded titles require inspection too.
Next time I'll just walk away.
Can't find a VIN on the trailer either but in order to register as home built you have to get it inspected and digitally weighed now.

Originally posted by LUCKY AGAIN View PostOk, here it is. 3-25-2020 there was a 16 ft trailer posted by onetondodge for codydu, also a member. I talker to cody, we made a deal, i drove down there to pick up the trailer. All i got was a bill of sale. No 130u, no title. He said he couldn't find it. I realize this is partially my fault for buying it without a title and 130u.
Well i tried to transfer title and couldn't. Contacted cody. He said he would get a lost title and get back with me. About 6 weeks went by, i called again. He said because of covid 19 it was taking a long time to get title back. Well in recent months i have tried to call and text him more times than i can count and he won't answer or reply.
About june the rules were changed about trailers and titles so now i'm being told i need to get a bonded title on the trailer. None of this would have been a problem if he would have followed through with getting the lost title. He seemed like a super nice guy but i can't verify that at this point in time.
To make it worse, in the mean time, i have repainted it, put new tires and wheels on it, and plan on rewiring the lights that don't work. But legally, i can't put it on the road.

No. and especially if they can claim they went to a certain school....
I've got one that still sticks in my craw because he was such a .....head about the whole deal. Just a complete waste of time dealing with him. I just don't buy knives, guns or fishing equipment from him.

I'm not sure if I will ever buy a used trailer again. I got a cargo trailer from a good guy and it had a title with it. Come to find out when I went to get it registered they said I had to get a bonded title for it. The person that had it last never registered it so I had to deal with it. Fun times
