Selling a motorcycle, couple logistical questions.

[JohnTRourke]

My rule with MC sales is: If you want to test ride, you hand me my full asking price in cash. After that I'll toss you the keys and you can ride it. Bring it back intact and I'll give you back your cash and we can talk price. Drop it, wreck it, or damage it in any way, I sign the title over to you and its yours.

.

yep, this is how you do it on M/C's

Just a thought - if the bike is financed and the bank still holds the title, it might be a good idea to call them and let them know you'll be coming in with the buyer, so the bank can dig the title out and have it ready. Might save a bit of hassle.....

Bank would be just for me to verify cash etc. Title is with a shitty credit union with oddball hours so I'm going to make a special trip when I have a buyer to go clear the title then meet the buyer whenever. One of those things where I can float the multiple thousand but would rather not do that and end up going 4 months without a buyer.

some banks are useless on the title. AS in it takes WEEKS to send you (not the buyer) the title.

You should call and check procedures first.

honestly if i wanted to sell something, i'd get the title clear first, as a buyer, dealing with a clear title is a whole lot less work and hassle.

I did, they said weekdays they can give me title on spot, no appointment ahead of time. Specific location has their title branch. They do high volume of bike loans.

Buyer is going to have to deal with meeting me at a wells fargo anyways. I dont meet at home and if I'm already meeting somewhere public might as well be where I can confirm funds rather than find out later 1/4 of it was funny money.
