What does “no paperwork” mean?

I'm guessing it means Bill of Sale only. But, maybe the OP will reply. I also understand that the "title your vehicle in Vermont" thing has come to an end or is a lot harder to do now.

That’s what I’m thinking, no title. That’s going to be a big show stopper for a lot of people.

No title, no sale, no joke.

If someone doesn't have a title, then he should take the registration, go to DMV, and have a replacement title issued before trying to sell the vehicle. For starters, transferring title becomes a nightmare without one if you're the buyer.

Trying to sell a vehicle without a title is as bad as trying to sell one at normal value that needs major work such as a head gasket. No, no. Fix the head gasket, then ask the full price. Similarly: get another title, then sell the vehicle.

Someone gave my dad a sailboat with no paperwork. It had had an outboard at one time, because it had the registration numbers on the bow. I would not have trusted it on the water because of overall condition. Years later, just to get the boat out of the yard, I took it on its trailer to a landfill and paid a few bucks to have it destroyed. Turned out, according to the city, it did have a title on file, and I sent copies of the landfill paperwork to the state to show I had disposed of the boat. But the whole thing was a hassle I could have lived without.

No title is no problem up here as long as the vehicle is old enough which this is.

Sucks to live where you guys do..

The Vermont loophole has been closed...

A “estate” title can be just as bad, I willnever buy another vehicle thats part of a estate.

Very fair point, hopefully one day I can find one.

There is a 4x4 diesel first gen (think it's an '87) parked at a house down the road from me... I too want one and it calls to me every time I drive by.

They are pretty cool but IMO one of the least desirable rare truck variants because they are so hard to find parts for. Even finding repair info & part numbers is hard. I think if I wanted a diesel Ranger I would be putting a TDI swap together.
