Hi all
I am in a bit of a quagmire here. I bought a motorcycle and I find out 2 years later that the bike has a lean on it. I bought the bike from a dealer in Ontario, and have a bill of sale that indicates it is free and clear. I have also put plates on this bike for 2 years, but when I contacted the repo place, they told me that the bank can still take the bike back. They say I can't do anything about it. They said they are trying to get the other owner to pay the dept but I can not do anything with the bike. I can't sell or trade it in because it does not have a clear titled. So my question is what can I do now. Just sit and wait?

You need to go back to the dealer you bought it from, they will have to refund you all the money you paid. They can not legally sell a motorcyle they do not have a clear and free title to sell.

Thanks For your respond Fr_Chuck. I phone this dealer twice and asked what he would like to do and I have not heard a response from him, and if he does decide to give the money back how do you put the owner slip card back in their name.

Hello v:

The dealer is probably not going to WANT to give you your money back. You might have to sue him. However, I would WRITE him a letter. In it, tell him that if you don't get your money in 10 days, you are going to complain to the state department of motor vehicles, and that you'll sue him. THEN he might respond.
