Any questions

While doing some market research for selling a travel trailer in the McAllen, Texas area, I ran across this in one of the Craigslist ads.

"The stove, microwave are new , the a.c. is super cold. I do not have a title for this trailer. Please let me know if u have any questions."


I think that I would have a few questions. :-)
  • And if someone spells YOU with just a u, time to look elsewhere
    probably the same person that calls YouTube "u-tube"
    and uses "text speak" in their other written communication, like this "
    r u rdy 2 go 2 dnr?"

    Neither would I. There must be a clear title before money changes hands.
  • I won't touch anything that has any issues with the title. Too many questions and pitfalls. Why no title? Stolen? Still a lien on it?
  • It's not always stolen - my Jayco was not titled. The owner purchased it in Florida for a couples of months work and then brought it back to Texas. He did not title it in Florida or Texas. We found out at DMV that he first had to title it in his name (in Texas) and then transfer the title to me.
  • Not sure why anyone would want to support what appears to be thievery when there are so many legitimate trailers out there with similar pricing (and titles). I am the unlucky guy that would get caught with stolen goods and lose whatever I paid. I suppose if it is cheap enough there will be a buyer.
  • I would have no questions unless I actually wanted to tow it somewhere. It would still make a nice hunting cabin etc.

    :B Me, too! For example:

    -Which locks are easiest to get past?
    -What's the most likely time of day that folks won't be home?
    -What brand of dog treats work best to make a guard dog My Friend?

    Last but not least:

    When did you get out?
