Question on buying a used Pop Up Tent Trailer
Im looking to by a used pop up tent trailer. Biggest question I have is......What is the process of buying a trailer from a private party if the trailer is not yet paid off? if they still owe on it and dont have a clean title and pink slip in hand. Trying to do my homeworkj before i go kicking tires. Any input?

Hey, you're Scott right? I think I got my 33's from you.
I've done this with several cars, both buying and selling. You can go to the seller's bank to pay it off and get the title, but sometimes titles are not held locally but, can get sent to the branch. If this is not an option, the only other safe option is to use an escrow service. |
It depends on the state laws. Here in Massachusetts they don't issues title's. If there was a loan the bank is out of luck if they decided to not pay as they have no proof of ownership.

Yep, varies by state. Here in OK trailers don't even require a tag/license plate, though an owner may purchase an optional one if he drives it out of state. It is $7, if you can find a tag agent with one on the shelf.

They're great, but they're not 35's. At least I'll be able to spend what would be re-gearing money on some headlights :thumbsup:

Funny, I lived in Massachusetts for a long time, owned 3 trailers including one pop up, and they all had titles. In fact, I needed the title to register them. |

I bought mine in NH and they don't issues titles so that might have something to do with it. Sold it without a title and never had an issue. |
