Clear Title Problem
For Whitey and Dieseldude (Canadian),
Having followed this thread and the current
ebay listing for your diesel FJ45 SWB, I would like to put an offer in on the truck.
I have spoken with the Registrar of Imported Vehicles in Canada, and they will accept this vehicle so long as I provide an original Bill Of Sale and Clear Title of Ownership.
I have even found a shipper ready to pick it up. The cost to Detroit is just over$2,000.
But I have not yet bid because...
1./ The
ebay lists this as without clear title.There is no
ebay protection without clear title.
2./ I have contacted Whitey a few times about title. He says he has "clean Montana Pink Slip".... and that the truck has "Clear Montana Title, and that it would be no problem putting it in my name"...that the title is still in the previous owners name and that he would get it changed over to his name this week.
3./ I think Whitey is a good guy, but it is still foolish to bid or buy a vehicle and transfer it across the country and import it to Canada with the title still up in the air! It will be stuck in Detroit for ad infinitum without title and no
ebay protection!
4./ I think others will feel the same, but the thing is I really like this truck, and everybody, especially Whitey, would be better served, (if he wants a good price), with current legal title in his name when selling.
5./ I hope this gets resolved soon as the bidding ends tomorrow. There is only $2,938. bidding on it now with no reserve mentioned ? One person already removed their bid. What's going on here? This is a long way from the $7,500 you are asking for on Mud.
6./ All I am asking for is clear title on the
ebay site
7./ Whitey, if you still have this truck after the bidding ends, I am willing to make an offer, so long as you get clear title in your name first
Buyer beware, ( but what a cool truck and restoration project!... groan )
