Selling a car way below its value in order to save sales tax is seriously frownded upon. Fiancee has no legal meaning.

Yes, I have run into this in Ohio once but they didn't make an adjustment as I was able to provide a signed sales agreement and other information on the value but they are looking out for it. > The only time I haven't gotten queried about a $100 vehicle price was when > it was an 87 Dodge K car. When was this? 1990? Later, Rich PS to Rob's post...My father-in-law has one of those old Tempos, blue. It has something like 15,000 miles (he bought it will 5,000 miles two years ago). It looks and runs like new...which isn't saying a whole lot. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Aug 2004 07:09:57 -0700 (PDT) From: Gary Derian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Title Transfer Question Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Prolly 1988 Gary Derian > > The only time I haven't gotten queried about a > $100 vehicle price was when > > it was an 87 Dodge K car. > > When was this? 1990? > Later, > Rich ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Aug 2004 16:56:33 -0400 From: "Bill Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Title Transfer Question Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Heh,hehe,heh In 1987 I bought a beat up K wagon to use to drive to Midway Airport in Chicago and leave in their parking lot all week as I commuted between Morris Illinois and Wilmington Delaware for 8 months or so. IIRC I paid $500 for it. I was almost done with the assignment when it burned a valve. I kept driving it, cause it ran and a couple of months later it was time to get rid of it as I was relocation to Delaware. The company I worked for would pay for shipping up to 3 cars to your new location or give you half the shipping cost if you got rid of the car and they didn't have to ship it. I gave the car to a local charity for a $500 tax deduction and the company gave me ~$400 for getting rid of it. The only car I ever owned that I made out on when I got rid of it.

Your lender would have to approve the transfer because they have an interest in the car, which generally means you would have to pay it off or she would have to assume the loan. In Maryland, you can sell the car to her for $100 but she would still have to pay tax on the fair market value. If you care for her enough to let her have your BMW, maybe a trip to the marriage license desk at the courthouse is in order. Otherwise, this stuff is all the province of the MVA, a separate state agency.

I'm wondering if there is a place in Dallas TX that I can have my rims dipped in chrome so they may shine. Also, does anyone suggest this? If so, does the chrome last, or will it in time be chipped off. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. However do you just think that the rims should remain or look better as being just the regular alloy wheels. Thanks so much in advance.

They did chip off over time, especially around the hub. And, they had problems holding air - the tires would often go flat mysteriously and unexpectedly 8^). Now, this may all be a function of how well the chroming was done originally, but I don't think I'd do it again in any case. - Greg Celisa said the following on 8/7/2004 11:01 AM: > Asking anyone's advice.
