Uh oh .....Need ideas How to proceed ?

I am trying to make the dealer to purchase it himself and sell it to me with the plates on it.

I don't understand this... He Already owns  it.  You just want him to register it, then sign over the title and let you drive it home.  I doubt he will let you take the plates.  

Ok... so if it's too much $ to send it on a flat bed, you can still have someone form CT buy it, temp register and sign title over to you and you are on your way.  All is not lost!

BTW... If he is a dealer he can put his dealer plates on it and be legal to take it on the road.  That is IF he is willing to let you take the plates.

From MA RMV pamphlet....

The primary benefit of a General
Registration Plate is that it does not have to be attached to any
one specific vehicle. Instead, because of the special needs of
the qualifying registrant, the general registration plate may
be attached to any vehicle that the registrant owns (or in
some cases only controls). The types of businesses
authorized by law to register their vehicles in this manner
typically own (or control) more vehicles than are needed to be
registered for business use at any one time. The registrant is
issued a limited number of registration plates (each
containing the registrant

I don't know if I can drive it all the way to Ontario with dealer plates ...


The thing with dealerships is, it is not really owned by them, it is sort of like a non-owner situation with dealerships I believe, maybe I am wrong. He said he would give me a call back this afternoon. he didn't sound very optimistic anymore, yesterday he was saying we will get this sorted out. Today it was, doesn't look good.

I believe unless someone in CT or Rhode Island or New York purchases it, licenses it fully (they need to do that so that they can get a new title and sign it over to me), the deal is pretty much dead. I still have my fingers crossed, but, have lost hope .....

BTW... If he is a dealer he can put his dealer plates on it and be legal to take it on the road.  That is IF he is willing to let you take the plates.

OK, Birol - here's the info you need to register it here in CT."

Look under the "Used manufactured trailer" part. It's pretty standard, and all it will take here is some time. Sounds like you'll get the title soon enough and we have a "Satellite" office here in Putnam open on Wednesday and Friday from 8am - 6pm. It's about 5 minutes down the road and the wait time is FAST! (under 15 minutes) This would be the perfect time, because Lee's work is slow, so if you want to - Lets do it!!

YES!!!  This is great!  If the dealer will loan Birol the plates, it will save him $ but if not....  Lee  will have to be on the title from the dealer and register it in his name.  Then Lee will have to wait to get the title back from DMV and then sell it to Birol.  Birol, you'd then have to borrow Lee's plates and send them back to him

I am running what you posted above by him Cindy ..... lets see what he will say. I am starting to get a feeling that he is not really truing to complete the sale anymore ...... It is always me calling him suggesting things .... we will see by the end of today. Tomorrow I have to tell him a go or no as he is going to get the title on Monday and that will cost me money. I don't want to spend 50 bucks for a title he will get if I can't get the trailer.

Looks like Lee and Andrea are coming through for you!!!

Don't lose hope.  You don't need hope.  It can be done.  It just means you maybe can't go the simple way and use the dealers plates.  Having Lee buy it, title it, register it, then sell it to you works.  No doubt about it.

According to the RMV site,

It is legal for the Dealer to let you take his dealer plate, as long as the dealer plate is on a vehicle that he owns (the camper).  The only restriction you have is that you are only allowed to use it for 5 days.  There is no restriction about where you can and cannot tow it.  So if you get to take the dealer plates, you can drive it all the way home.  So you still have 2 options...

Dealer plate if he is willing

Lee to buy it and transfer to you.

[birol]

So, is Lee and Andrea ok with this ? If they are lets do it I will just pay the guy and tell him to make it to Lee's (Or Andrea's) name.

First I will call him (did so he was out) and inquire about using his dealer plates ..... That is the quickest way out.

If he doesn't want to give his license plates, I will get to see Lee and Andrea and the boys and the Cutie Pie

Andrea's Post #60...

"so if you want to - Lets do it!!



Looks like you are in business.  Just understand, that you'll have to wait for Lee/Andrea to get the title back from DMV... that may take a couple weeks.

Permanent plates.... sort of.  They will have the official registration plates by then, but TECHNICALLY, once he signs the registration and title over to you and gives you the bill of sale, it's no longer really his to be registered.  But Lee has to officially cancel the registration and turn the plates in.  But don't worry about that.  Once you have official CT camper license plates on it, you'll have no trouble getting it home.  Just make sure Lee gets those plates back so he can officially cancel the registration or else he will end up getting billed for property taxes.

Once again, make sure the bill of sale has everything the Canadian import officials require on it.  Don't just go with the standard CT DMV bill of sale you can get, unless it has all the info required.  Have it NOTORIZED TOO!

[MommaMia]

As for insurance.  Check to see if your regular auto policy covers a trailer when it's hooked to your van.  That way you don't need a seperate policy.  And I doubt you can add it to your policy until you have the title anyway.  In CT you don't need seperate ins. policy.  Keep in mind.... If you can just use your TV policy, once the camper is disconnected from the tv, it's no longer covered.  So if you disconnect at home, it rolls down the drive and crashes, it's not covered.

Customs said they will accept a Bill of sale, we will just download it from CT DMV's site and sign it and get it notarized !  I am sure they will accept that with the official title ! I asked them ! So they had better !!!!!!

LEE needs to get it and sign it, have it notarized.

[birol]

So only the sellers signature needs to be notarized in USA ? In Turkey if you have a bill of sale, both parties have to sign in front of the person who notarizes it and state that they are doing it with no reservation etc ....

When I hear from Lee or Andrea that I can go ahead (And get their information, full name, addres etc), I will tell the dealer to make the sale to them No walking away with my PU now you two heheheheh Sorry I couldn't help it

LEE needs to get it and sign it, have it notarized.
