I ran thru the bonded title circus last summer. There are certain DMV offices that handle that out here, closest one was 1.5 hours away, no one knew what they were doing and I ended up paying for an appraisal that I didn't need, appraiser (used car lot) told me I didn't need it as the law had changed but the DMV said I did, returned paperwork from DMV said "not needed". I suppose I could have paid even more for one of those places that do this kind of stuff for you, but geez it was already too much just for the DMV fees, I essentially did a mail order bonded title, lots of fun. You couldn't pay me to do it again.

But if I ever was dumb enough to do it again I can guarantee the purchase price I'd be willing to pay for your "all it needs is a bonded title, it's easy" vehicle will be no more than half of what you want for it and likely much less than that. If it's so easy, you get it and sign it over to me when you do.
