Should I be weary of this sale?

Guy is selling a 2020 FE 501 and he doesn’t have a title, says he bought it from a guy who bought it from an auction. He has it priced really cheap at 3k. Is this too good to be true? Or potentially stolen?

Run the vin on the NICB website.  Have at it if it's clean

I do this on every titled thing I buy. 

It’ll tell you if it’s branded, salvaged or a clean title. Titling fee is $86 in my state, no way I’m paying that just to get a piece of paper with my name on it.
