I was looking at this day cab today....2009 international with cummins from a private seller today. He didn't have the registration and he hasn't registered it in over 2 years.
When I looked at it today.....he still runs it locally...and had a 53ft loaded trailer attached. All the stickers said 2019.
Truck looked in pretty decent condition and he suggested I drive it with the loaded trailer to see how much power it had....I declined.
So I get the vin #.....pay to get a report on it....and noticed it was branded in 2019. Could this be the reason he hasn't registered it, because he maybe is unable to with the branded title???
Can someone explain to me what is possibly going on here? He didn't disclose really anything to me aside from just having the title only, and still driving the truck with no registration the past 2 years....allegedly.

If he hasn't licensed it in the last 2 years someone is going to be on the hook for those unpaid years correct?

Dude tried to tell me to just tell the DMV it was "non op" the past few years....and they'll probably waive the fees lol. That was a pretty weird situation today.77fib77 Thanks this.

Ha yeah good luck with that one. Tell him to go get it current himself.
We've had a couple trucks go non current and I tried every excuse I could think of, those ladies are hard assesss.slow.rider Thanks this. -
Is the truck in California? I think they stopped allowing trucks to register for plates if they were not up to certain emission requirements.
@Diesel Dave -
I had a few trucks like this that were bundled into a sale.
so it has a salvage title which isn’t cleared. This means it was in an accident and the insurance company deemed it salvage, the state changed the title to prevent fraud and to make money off of it.
When this happens, the truck has to be fixed. The insurance will give a reason for the title change, and that has to be fixed, it can be minor or major fix but it has to be fixed before the title is changed to get the plates for it.
This guy is illegal, he is very shrewd at scamming people or he is very stupid. If he had an accident, he is toast and if he is working for any company, they are toast, I know lawyers would would just wait for an accident from someone like this guy to pounce on him to make a good commission from a huge settlement. I am very surprised that the insurance company even allowed him to insurance the truck.
walk away unless he is giving it to you. I mean free giving it to you.Midwest Trucker and trucky909 Thank this. -
I wouldn't take it even if it was free. There's more going on here than meets the eye. The guy selling the truck has proven himself to be deceptive. Why take a chance?
GoneButNotForgotten, Midwest Trucker, trucky909 and 1 other person Thank this. -

2010 or certified with a retrofit IIRC....
hopefully that bs doesn’t get forced country wide... -
Considering the group in power and the fact they are trying to tax us into the dirt already as well as how hostile they are to "evil diesel trucks" and how fond they are of putting mom and pops into the dirt.....i can absolutely GUARANTEE its going to happen within a few years just based off avalible observible data.
I hate emissions trucks, but getting a pre emissions one right now is one hell of a gamble.Mattflat362, 77fib77 and Midwest Trucker Thank this.
