I'm buying an out of state car with expired registration, what do I have to do to get it from Washington to Oregon?
OK, it's currently registered in Washington but has expired tags, and you're an Oregon resident, and you need to drive it while the registration transfers and updates?Your most cost effective move is the Oregon DMV Vehicle Permits - for light vehicles (cars, most trucks), it's $30 for 21 days. Just walk into your DMV and buy it. Bring cash or a debit card, BTW.The Washington permit is the same price but only good for three days. Which makes it an "emergency use" type of thing, as opposed to "dude, I can drive the car until I get the new tags" kind of thing...
How do you buy a car out of state and have it shipped to you?
I've heard many horror stories about car shippers. The best advice I have is don't go cheap. Some of them use open trailers and your car gets pelted with sand or whatnot the whole way across the company.When I bought my car from a private seller back east I used the same shipper I saw bringing collectible Ferraris and such to the exotic store across from Pixar. It's Intercity Lines. They are not the cheapest, but your car will be lovingly wrapped and carried inside a trailer by people who know what they're doing. They also provided the escrow service for me: They handed the check to the seller when they picked up the car. And, honestly, it wasn't much more expensive than it would have been for me to fly out and drive the car back, except that I saved thousands of miles on the car and close to a week of my time. Worth it.The only other trick was arranging for a local (to the seller) dealership to do a pre-purchase inspection on the car. Never buy a used car without one.
California resident - Buying car out of state?
I'm a California resident (lived there my entire life) and currently have a CA drivers license and my car is registered there. I'm currently in Minnesota living with some family and attending college. I plan on returning to California in around 2 years after graduation. I'm looking to buy a car here in Minnesota. I'm not a resident (and am paying out of state tuition) and would like to have CA plates and registration as I'm returning in the near future. What would the process be like to do that? Would I have to drive my new, purchased car to California, or would they mail me my plates if I register it with the CA DMV? Thanks for any help.
Buying a car from different state in india and getting it registered in other state is it possible, will I have to pay taxes in both states?
Yes, it's possible. Buy a car from one state, get it temporary registered which is valid for a month and drive back to your RTO and get the car registered.
How do you buy a car from a dealer in a different state?
Process of purchasing a vehicle from a different state is not difficult at all and the selling dealer should be able to take care of all the hassle if any. If they are not aware of it, you should probably find a different vehicle. In fact, online vehicle sales is growing rapidly year by year and buyers rarely come to see the cars they buy due to the distance. The process usually follows these steps:Dealer will ask for a deposit amount and will issue a Bill of Sale with that amount noted. Make sure you get this to avoid proving that you have made the deposit if it comes to it.Once you are ready to make a purchase by cash or loan check, dealer will ask for pertinent information to be able to assign title to your nameYou make a payment in full (cash, check, loan, etc...)You sign sale documents either at the dealership or sent to you by mailYou pick-up the vehicle with a temporary tag or arrange delivery of the vehicle to you by dealer or yourself. I suggest using FREE INSTANT VEHICLE SHIPPING QUOTE for transporting your car, motorcycle, truck, van, minivan (disclosure: I help running that company)Dealer should provide you with a title documents in your name within 20 to 30 days (in most states as per their legislation)If you decide to purchase from an individual in a private deal, usually there is a spot on the back of the title issued by the state where you are buying a vehicle, where they will assign the vehicle to you and sign as a seller. It is also a good idea to get a Bill of Sale from them. Does not have to be on a form (sample below) and can be hand written with those basic details of the sale.
Buying a car in Nevada and transferring it to california?
I'm looking at buying a jeep. I have 12,000 dollars and the going price seems to be around 13,000 to 14,000 dollars. I offer the dealerships what I got and they all say no because the cost of tax and license is almost 2000 dollars here in California. I heard that there is no sales tax for vehicles bought in Nevada though. There is also more available vehicles in Nevada. So I was thinking about buying a car there and bringing to California and having it registered. Does anyone know how much that will cost me. Thanks all in advance.
Let someone borrow my car and they wont give it back. How do I get it back?
Call the law. You will have it back the same day. Tell them you let the person(s) use it, and now they will not bring it back. Have your title and registration with you. By the way, honey - don't let them borrow it again!
Live in California, buying a car in Illinois, for school in Indiana?
So, this one might be a little complicated... I live in California and currently attend college in Indiana. This year I decided I need a car for school and have been looking around. I found several used cars of interest in the Chicago area. So here's the tricky bit... I know if I was taking a car from home in California, I would only deal with California renewal costs and fees and would not have to register the car in Indiana (I read on the Indiana BMV website that full time students do not need to register their cars.) But presumably, if I were to purchase one of the used cars I found, it would be registered in Illinois. So if I kept the plates and everything, I would have to pay Illinois fees and such, right? But that wouldn't make sense since I don't live in Illinois and don't have a permanent address there. So then I assume I would have to register the car in Indiana, but since I am not technically a resident there and have no permanent address there, would I still be able to register it there? Any suggestions about the best way to go about this problem? Thanks! By the way, if it makes any difference, I come home for the summers so I am only in Indiana for 9 months and while I am away, I would leave the car with a friend.
