Oklahoma Title questions - New Member

New guy from Oklahoma.

As usual this is an awesome website! I am looking at a m35 that has never been titled. No sf97 whatsoever. Is Title42 Mechanics Lean the only option and has anyone gone that route? My only experience was with a "title" company that cut and run fortunately I paid with credit card. I have yet to follow through myself and am unsure how easy the process is.

any advice would be great

I would buy one that is titled. I live in NW AR and I know where a couple are at that titled in our area. Both of mine were titled and it made it a lot easier. I know some guys that do sme title work and I could put you in touch with them.

You'll get much better results if the title of your thread gets the right people to read it.
May I suggest:
"OKLAHOMA Titling Questions from New Member"

If you go to your original post, and click "edit" then at the bottom of the edit window click "Go Advanced" I think you'll be able to edit the thread Title.

Since each state's Titling & Registration Laws vary and are each quite unique, keeping responses focused will get you to your goal more quickly.

I personally invested much time in a thread about Texas' FMV (Former Military Vehicle) Laws. Unfortunately I can offer no specifically helpful input toward your Titling.

Good luck, and again....

The Title42 route in OK is relative cheap and fairly easy, it just takes awhile. (Title42 in OK is the mechanics lean option). I have never used it on an untitled vehicle before.

There may be other options.

Oklahoma does not use a Bill of Sale, nor a bonded title, etc.

PM me the details and I'll see if I can help

If anyone can help Warthog can. All I know about that lean is a mechanic offered and has done work to a vehicle and the owner of said vehicle did not pay them afterwards and a lean for the work was put on it to insure the mechanic either gets his money or the vehicle as compensation for the work done. My question is where did this truck come from if it doesn't have a title or a SF 97? and was it legally obtained to start with? Personally I would take pic of the dash plate or other registration mark and check with the police to make sure it's legal first. Just my 2 cents.

You can also consider a Salvage title as well !! You can also file for a lost title but that will take some time for a lost title to come back .. But Warthog can help you he is quite knowledgeable in the paperwork for a Green Machine

Dont think you can do a lost title as it has never been titled.

Title 42 is also for storage. But you either have to had it for 6 months or have a bill of sale from someone who has. If I'm not mistaken it is about 150$.
