First off, I live in Missouri.
Second, is it a *must* that you title your quad? When buying a quad, should one stay away from one without a title? The reason I ask is I've found a 400ex for sale, but it was never titled. I've talked to some of my buddies, and some say I "must" title it, while others say I "don't have to". The owner didn't title it to avoid sales tax, but I was under the impression that it was a "no no" to not title ANY vehicle once it's changed ownership, especially to avoid paying sales tax. Here in Missouri I *believe* you're supposed to license it similar to what you would a car, only you recieve a decal to place on your quad versus a license plate...and I'm guessing once you do so you will then be required to pay property tax as well the following year on the quad, as well as paying sales tax when you *license* it.
So, what do I do, or what can I do?
