I bought a sport motorcycle without a vin number and with a new frame (not a chopper or a custom build). This guy gave me some papers and said that those papers are good to get it registered. I paid him $5000 for this motorcycle. Next day I woke up and realized that this bike has no vin number on it plus it was a total mess. Missing some fairings, half of the bike was repainted, suspension is extremely loose, front forks are broken, no plates etc.. I was buying it at night so I did not see which condition it was. On those papers he gave me it says that I need to bring the bike to DMV, then I have to go to CHP for verification. In other words I need to go through a lot of hassle. Plus the papers he gave me show someone else name, not his. Can I sue the seller and get my money back through a court case based on misrepresentation of the extremely important facts of this vehicle? Also can I get my money back if the bike was not registered on his name? Thank you!!
