I think that would only be an issue if it had to be registered or some one out of the blue appeared and claimed it was their stolen property. Who ever has title, owns that scooter maybe.
Yes...name on title owns the vehicle.
I sold an Audi 4000S one time. ....GREAT car!!....to a lady on a Sunday for cash.
Her sister a notary she said....do it later.
She never got it taken care of.
6 mos later repair shop called....if I didn't pay $250 they were going go impound it and sell it.
Guy said...."whatever. ..just pay us the $250 and you can have your Audi back!!" She had knocked oil pan off on parking block.
I told him that wasn't right....just go ahead and impound and sell it.
Learned a good lesson. Get deal notorized properly!!
