I am wanting to buy a M1009 and I was wondering if I need to get the Sf-97 for it? I will be driving it every day, I don't know what to do this is my first MV, Do I need to get the Sf-97 to get it titled?

That or go with a title company. I ordered SF-97s and after waiting 45 days received florida titles.

If you are in a hurry don't buy from GL! It can take a while especially with your first one. Check the classifieds, there are some M1009s for good prices.

I guess I was real lucky - I bought my M105A2 trailer from them during the period that the SF-97 just came with the vehicle. That was the only MV I ever bought directly from GL - Now, I stick to parts / equipment only. BTW - they did get back with me around 3 years after the auction closing - to have me fill out a retroactive EUC form!

You might want to check Illinois DMV as I read it a Bill of Sale may get you a title. This number is on their website "Call 217-782-6306 for more details" Title & Registration

not all ebay trucks have titles, make sure the seller provides proof of the title prior to bidding, just my 2 cents

Most of them say the will apply for the SF-97, but does that mean I can go get the truck registered?

I would not buy a vehicle from a private party, if the seller did not have a valid title. Can you trust that seller to apply for an sf-97? Be careful.

If you have to wait for the seller to apply for a SF-97 then you maight as well bid on one from GL you will still have to wait for a SF-97 either way. The only time you will save is waiting for your EUC.

Private seller you can probably drive it and kick the tires before purchase.
