I'm looking at a 63 Vespa Allstate. It's been restored and the owner says that the engine has been rebuilt. I've not seen it run in person, but have seen a video of it running. It doesn't have a title, but the seller says it's easy to get a title with a bill of sale. I'm a little skeptical, and have to look into that. Any thoughts as what I should be looking for? The price is $4000, I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
What do you guys think?
Thanks

Or a better one is to tell you to file for a lost title, ignoring the fact that you have to prove that you are the one that lost it to begin with. I won't buy things from lazy people, as they could be slacking off on something else that needed done, but ignored it. Positive

LOL, right?!

4k with no Title is a big NOPE! if it is so easy, just go get one.
