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

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

Yes, only sellers signature is usually notarized but it's best to have both done.  From your post, it sounded like you were going to be the only one... made no sense.

btw... I like seeing all those smiles on your posts now.

Hmmm. Just spoke to him and told him that  he could loan his dealer plates to me for a period of 5 days ! I told him that I also e-mailed him the relevant piece of information. He asked me how long it would take me to go to Canada. And I told him 1.5 days with the trailer, and he said, ok, I will get the title then.

Looks like CINDY found a solution to the problem ! I offered to leave a deposit to him but he didn't say anything, just wondered if I could cross the border with dealer plates. I hope Canadian customs do not take his plates ! I will tell them not to beg them I don't think any state would mind me towing a trailer with proper dealer plates  right ?

Once in Canada I will ship his plates back to him as fast as possible !!!


I am keeping my fingers crossed

Wonderful news!  I did NOT want you to have to take that picture off your avatar!

Finally, a light at the end of this tunnel!    One more time, I think you shound name your pop-up FINALLY!  :#

It certainly sounds like this is going to happen for you!

I send the guy a final e-mail summarizing what we agreed on, asked him to confirm it so there are no surprises no finger pointing at the end. I don't want to drive 600 miles and find out that he won't loan his dealer plates !


I am going to take a deep breath when I have the PU in the garage

once again.... WAHOOOEEEE!!!!


I think once you get to border, they find that all paperwork is in order, you pay them the appropriate fees you'll be all set.

[birol]

There shouldn't even be any fees !  I think maybe GST (8&)but even that has a cap of 15 years I guess YEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Wheeew.. That there was a lot of reading!! Briol, Yes... I would of done that for you.. But it looks like you have a better way to get it to you. My only wonder/thought was how hard it would be to get a CT title on a camper that does not require on in CT. ?? But, if the dealer will loan the plates to you and he had gotten the title back in hand when you pick it up.. I think you are golden.  BUT!!! You are not getting out of stopping here first. Heck, you "could" set up the camper here and stay the night so that you are refreshed for the ride home. We only live 10 miles south of the Mass line off Rt-395 We may be very close to the way home for you anyway!

Let me know, we can give the camper a good once over before you head off.

Thanks Lee, I hope everything will work out and you will not have to worry about  anything. If he throws me any curve, I might still have to call you, hopefully not though.  By the way, he was going to provide the Title to you if you had to purchase it. I really appreciate your  offer to help me with this.

I don't know the plans yet  for picking up the PU yet, but I would definitely love the opportunity to see you folks and also go over it with you ! The dealer is only 40 miles away from you ! There is no chance I will not pass by your house having come all that distance !

Now I am just waiting for the confirmation e-mail from him, and all will be set. This was the longest day of my life I guess

I would suggest a group cyber-toast around the CRT campfire when that happens, Birol!

I agree with Lee, that's a lot of reading there!
 
Ok, here's one more thing you need to work in. If the dealer does let you borrow the plates, make sure you get something in writing from him stating that you are allowed to use those plates for the purpose of transporting the trailer home to Canada. Make sure it is written very specific, and it would also be best if that too was notarized. This would make crossing the boarder with the trailer a whole lot easier on you, rather than trying to do a verbal Texas 2 step with the border officials over "where ya get them tags from fella???" type of thing.
 
Oh, I'd also keep a copy of those details on how the tags can be used with you while towing the trailer home. Those can be pretty obscure laws, and not every cop from NY is going to know what can or cannot be done with Mass dealer tags!
 
I was going to suggest you do this even if Lee bought the trailer and resold to you, so that you'd have some legal recourse for having possession of those tags.
 
Now that this all said and done, I'll tell you about my trip home from Columbus Oh with the new Trail Cruiser. At the dealer, he gave me the cardboard temp tags, which I placed on the trailer before heading out. I stopped the first night still inside Ohio, but close to the WV state line, tags still intact. Next day I got caught in several down pours while towing it through WV. At one point I stopped at a rest area and took a walk around the trailer, that cardboard tag melted in the rain and was gone! I couldn't do anything about it, so I just got back in the Jeep and kept on truckin, all the way back to Virgninia. Though these states do require tags, I never got stopped! If I had, I would simply have shown them the paper work and the little nubs of cardboard still stuck under the bolts to show him it had a paper tag!!

You mean getting into Canada ? I don't think they would be bothered with the USA dealer plates on our side once I explain that I just purchased it. Now the USA customs, there is usually no place to stop, but that doesn't mean they don't watch outgoing traffic ! Once exiting USA, we were stopped and talked to for 5 minutes just to exit the country. I would think that having just purchased the trailer I would be ok with the license plates, but I will call custom and ask them if they would require me anything anyways, better safe then sorry. Thanks for bringing it up Cliff.

Well, even if you get pulled over for speeding on the Mass Pike or NY Thruway, the Third question the officer will ask you, is Where did ya get them plates from fella? and then you gotta do some explaining. Meanwhile, the cops will be holding you there while they run checks on the tags, on you, and everything else. All I'm saying is, keep your possible problems minimized by covering all the bases before you tow it an inch. I'm also thinking that US side of the border is going to question you about those tags too!
 
Post script... The first question is, Your license and registration please? and the second is Do you know why I stopped you?

[birol]

So you think I will be stopped before exiting USA ?  They would have to hand pick me I guess and that means they watch the traffic going into the border, it is sucha  short distance from where you turn to the border and to be actually out of USA, but hey, they have a job to do and I am sure they do it well. I will ask for a letter from the dealer authorizing me to use the license plates for the purposes of importing it to Canada. Have it notarized if possible as well ! SInce we have to get the Bill of sale anyways, why not get that done at the same time. Good advice, thanks ....

If this ever goes through (and with this board I know we will figure a way to make it work) it needs to be used as a basis for a movie.  Something heroic - like - like - Blues brothers.  

Now for the casting. We need a dashing leading man, his lovely wife, a bad guy, and a number of character actors.  

Whaddya say?
