A mortgage or lien on a motor or off-highway vehicle filed for record in a state other than Colorado is not valid and enforceable against the rights of subsequent purchasers for value, creditors, lienholders, or mortgagees having no actual notice of the existence of the mortgage or lien. If the certificate of title for the vehicle bears any notation adequate to apprise a purchaser, creditor, lienholder, or mortgagee of the existence of a mortgage or lien at the time a third party acquires a right in the motor vehicle, the mortgage or lien and the rights of the holder of the mortgage or lien are enforceable in this state as though the mortgage were filed in Colorado and noted on the certificate of title or noted in the record of the authorized agent for the vehicle under section 42-6-121.
