      If you know the people selling it, then yes, if not then I would run from it. Especially if the price is way lower than you thought it should be. Nothing from Craigslist without a title. It will be a scam.

        Not me unless I knew the person really well.

          It's not at all uncommon for people not to keep track of titles on off-road only vehicles, I would decide based on the specific situation and the seller.

            Personally if I don't have to register, it doesn't really bother me I'll use it as leverage on the price. However I would get a bill of sale and drivers license number. But then again I usually keep them until there junk. If I had any intentions of selling it I probably wouldn't buy unless it had a title.

              I've had three different 4 wheelers and have never had a title for any of them.

                The rightful owner can acquire a replacement title. Like playing with a rattlesnake, you're eventually going to be struck.

                  Hundreds are stolen each year. No way would I buy one without a title.

                    I was thinking no also.

                    Guy wants to trade a quad for my seadoo but he doesn't have a title. I told him to get it and then I would deal with him.

                      Can you run the VIN to make sure it isn't stolen?

                          Yes. Problem is I plan on selling it or trading it. I already have a samurai and don't need a quad

                            I would ask for the serial number and go to my local PD and have them run it for me. If it didnt come back stolen, then I would accept the BOS. Included in the BOS, I would have their drivers license number, address, phone, date, serial number, description, and location of the sale. But thats just me.

                              Probably not an issue but, I seem to remember a few years ago there was an issue discussed on here about law enforcement stooping people and checking for titles of atvs?
