Thank you for the information. I believe the Credit Union wants the VIN for the scooter in question (problematic where drop shippers are involved) in addition to information on the dealer themselves. I inquired when last I was there, but I didn't delve deeply into details, so I didn't mention it was a drop shipper (or likely to be). I suspect they want it to protect their investment from potentially bad debtors - cant repossess a vehicle you cant ID... but I have no idea how it actually works.

Edit: But I could be totally wrong. Would anyone feel like sharing their experience? I would really appreciate it.
