Buyer’s due-diligence checklist
We don’t hold title, lien or theft records yet, so here’s exactly how to verify each one yourself through official sources before you buy.
1
Title & brand history
Confirm the title is clean, not salvage, flood, rebuilt or odometer-branded.
2
Theft, salvage & flood
Make sure it isn’t reported stolen or written off by an insurer.
3
Open safety recalls
Check for unrepaired manufacturer recalls.
4
Liens / money owed
Verify no lender is still owed money, an unpaid lien can follow the machine to you.
The title names any lienholder; also search UCC filings in the seller’s state.
5
VIN & paperwork match
Match the VIN on the dash, door jamb and title. Re-stamped or mismatched plates are a red flag.
Links go to independent official resources; MachVerity isn’t affiliated with them. Always inspect the machine in person and get a written bill of sale.
