QUICK REPONSES!!! Is this a good deal GS500F 2007. Pics---->>>

[mike07gs500f]

yup same situation when i bought my bike here in socal. bought my '05 gsf from a cop that still owed the lienholder money. he needed time, even after i handed him all the cash, to pay off the remainder of the loan. make sure you print out a bill of sale from the dmv website and have the seller fill it out and sign it. the bill of sale is the only binding document that will prove your purchase and once the other party signs it, the bike is as good as yours until you get a cleared title.

now here's the thing about the title. policeman paid off the lienholder the very next day, but they WILL lag. american general took damn near 30 days to mail the pink to me. on top of that, for the title to be ALL yours, you'll need the lienholder's signature AND the previous owner's sig. so, after i got the title i still had to go back to see the seller to get his sig. after all that grueling wait, you can finally go to the dmv to pay your title transfer fee and get butt-raped by uncle sam. 

are you absolutely positive?? reason being, this is sale being one huge hassel.Such as, i dont want to be put at risk with anymore, or give her any amount of money that I may possibly never see back....such as WHO"s to say she will even pay the loan off?? Plus when she does if she does pay the loan off. She still doesnt have to transfer nothing over to me...She really doesnt...SINCE she's the person the title gets made to. Not me being the intended buyer. She doesnt have the money NOR the credit to pay off the *payoff* amount of the balance...and THUS needs my monies to complete the payoff.

so YEAH like I dont want to be ripped off...she owes on the bike. But without a clean and clear title this is turning out to be a huge headache..ughh!!

EVEN if i pay her the money, and SHE GIVES ME BIKE TO TRUCK out to my place. She can keep the cash, let suzuki repo the bike and I could be up the river with NO BIKE and ALL MY CASH long gone....

so yeah, i dont want to end up on judge judy or something.

WHAT TO DO?? WHAT DO TOO?? legally, and carefully without the headache or rise of possibly being ripped off.

my suggestion is to:

1) talk to the chick and see if she'll cooperate with you by placing a conference call to the lienholder.
2) find out exactly, down to the penny, how much the payoff amount is
3) you cut a cashier check for $3900 to the lienholder
4) have the chica cut the remaining balance (if there is any) in a cashier check to the lienholder
5) meet with her at a local payment location to hand in your cashier checks simultaneously
6) have her fill out and sign the bill of sale at that moment
7) provide your name and address to the lienholder so they can mail the pink slip directly to you
receive your pink in whatever time the lienholder agrees to (usually about 30 days, but they'll probably tell you 1-2 weeks)
9) bring the pink back to the seller for final signature
10) head out to dmv to take care of the rest

i think that's the path of least resistance and would minimize the amount of calling, driving, and meeting up with a bunch of odd folks to close a deal. i would've done it this way if i knew how it was going to go down. good luck, dude. hope you get the bike. it's a sweet bike for a killer deal.

[ABSOLUTNATI]

Ahhh, a cashiers check to the lienholder. Good idea!

Already talked to suzuki DIRECLY LONG AGO.... no can do. I could get a cashiers check and go with her and all the stuff as you mentioned. BUT they will not add me to her account at all, nor will they cut the title to my name even if I plan on buying such bike. They only cut the title to the account holder and that IS her...NO MATTER what.

Like i said before, even IF i send my check in, or to a payment center. Who's to say after they give her the title she will transfer the bike over to me. NOBODY. She can absolutely change her mind and keep the bike and the money I gave her. Not good...(avoids any risk)





so yeah...i basically would have to do a Personal loan to her and cross my fingers.

[minos36]

there's no need to add you to her account and the pink slip doesn't get "cut" to anyone. right now, the pink slip is held by the lienholder, not the missus. the pink slip will indicate the title owner's name (ms. afraid-to-ride-chica) as well as the lienholder's company name. once paid off, the pink slip NEEDS to go to someone. that someone could be you or it could be her. it doesn't matter. whether you get it in the mail or she gets it in her mail, she needs to sign the pink and hand it to you. it's useless to her.

why?

...because you have a signed bill of sale. you're safe, man. go buy it already, stop pondering and start riding. 

[ABSOLUTNATI]

Used vehicle sales, like this occur, everyday. You just have to evaluate the seller. If they seem shady, cover all of your tracks. Most likely, if something were to happen, as long as you have a written receipt, it would hold up in any court.

[mike07gs500f]

Bought the bike, Now I Dont want it......If anyone in LA/OC wants this bike and deal. Let me know an tell your friends.





thanks everyone for the help. Clean Title in hand.

[minos36]

how come you're not keeping it?

actually got fixed under an authorized dealership, specifically at southland cycle(only work on suzuki's) in garden grove by the mechanic ed who had 25 years under his belt.

anyone who needs work done, i recommend him greatly. Good guy, and honest.

[recursive_name]

So, if you got it fixed, how come you're gettin' rid of it? You seemed so excited!

[DrtRydr23]

Maybe he thinks he needs a bigger bike.  Kids these days!

[minos36]

hmm, would i be a my mama if i had (2) gsf's? i'll keep one faired and another naked. i think a black one would look lovely nekked. 

[lancemclaughlin]

i think a black one would look lovely nekked. 

i was thinking the same thing as i looked at those pictures. 

[kdogg84]

being that we all now know the condition of the bike and how much you paid, how much $$  are you looking for??
