I'm interested in a bike but I'm wary of whether the DMV will let me reg it...
Here's the story.
Michigan bike. Clean title. I THINK the tags are still current.
Bought by a guy in CA in April 2011.
He brought it into CA but never reg'ed it.
Now he want's to sell it (says it's too big for him).
Can I buy it from the current (CA) owner and reg it without hassles from the DMV?
Potential problems:
- CA wants vehicles reg'ed w/in 10 days of entry IIRC. It's been in CA for 4 mos.
- It's reg'ed in MI but the seller is in CA and he's not the one who reg'ed it in MI. Is that OK?
I think the best thing to do is have the seller get off his arse & reg it in CA and sell it w/ a clean reg history and title chain, right?
