I didn't know why they wanted the price of the bike, so I told them what I genuinely paid. Mistake! I probably paid more than market value so I shot myself in the foot paying more taxes...
Yes the "UVIP", this contains very important information like if there is a LEIN against the bike, previous owners, title (clear, Salvage, etc).

As a rule of thumb I always want to see a NEW one from the SELLER before I hand over the payment so I don't get screwed.

Also watch how much you lowball, they may just send a letter out to the seller asking how much they sold it for, If the numbers don't match they will probably go after you for the taxes due, get your story straight with the seller beforehand.

Above all, DO YOUR REASEARCH
