When you guys in WA start having to pay a State Income Tax, we might
start listening to the WA DMV sob stories. And then, you trek down the
road to Oregon to buy your big ticket items as to not pay any sales
tax.

Oh, if it were only so.  The State needn't choose to treat a BOS as
a legal document, and can look up its own Blue Book value and use
that, if the sale price is too low.  That's what WA does, and paying
sales tax on a $2500 car that you bought for $400 is galling, to 
say

the least.  I ended up having to get the clunker 'appraised' at the
local MB dealership, where a helpful salesman wrote (on letterhead)
that they'd only give me $500 for the heap.  (This was the Chicken
Wagon, btw.)  They accepted that figure, and taxed me accordingly.

I found out later that they have an equivalent legal document to
the bill of sale, the name of which escapes me, that I could have
filled out with the seller.  Got to have one with you, of course,
or arrange for it later.

Obviously they've rigged the system for maximum income, figuring that
relatively few 'donors' will take the extra trouble to avoid the
unjustified tax.

Of course, _your_ State may be different!

What was the deal for Oregoonians?  $10 to register the car?  And 
property taxes were killing  you, so you voted to underfund the 
schools?  IIRC, no need to actually need to know how to drive down 
there, just have to show proof of insurance to get a license.

Here's the list from the receipts:

Title fee
Excise tax
Insurance fee
Mail fee
Notary fee (yes - the tile was notarized before I walked in)
Inspection fee
Registration fee
Waste tire fee

Most of these are between $1 and $5, but the excise tax was $118 !!

that's 2.6%.  So, for me that should equate to $104.00.  I wonder where all

No, doesnt matter what your bill of sale says, whatever the amount they 
determin for minimum is what the charge you on.  I always just tell them 
I paid $500 or $1000, or whatever, that way it for sure hits the lowest 
amount.  You dont have to give them a bill of sale, all they want is the 
title.  If you buy a car from a state that doesnt issue titles on old 
cars(like georga) then you can get an OK title with just the bill of 
sale.  As for the link I sent you off list, you dont even have to do 
that unless you are just dying to give the state $10.

on in OK when you first register the car.





The tag agency here in
OK just needs the title, proof of insurance, the vehicle (so they can


check


the VIN) and, erm, money (for the new tags).

WA state was bad 20 years ago, I can only imagine how bad it is now. I 
was paying $165 a year for tags on a 30 year old pickup and $135 a year 
for a rusty 35 year old horse trailer.
I remember getting pulled over by the local gestapo the second day i was 
there. He puled me over for out of state tags and from his car ran my 
name past the utility company records and found that I had power in my 
name and promptly handed me an insane fine for not having my vehicle 
properly tagged in WA. Heck I hadn't even unloaded my furniture from the

sent them the following email:
I'm coming in with my daughter on Saturday (December 17) to purchase a
1988 Mercedes-Benz 300E from a resident of Peachtree City.  On Sunday my

to do in order to buy the car properly and make sure that there are no
glitches on our way back to Oklahoma?  Here's what I'm thinking of and
please feel free to add or modify this; Proof of insurance on the car
we're purchasing Bill of Sale from seller (should include vehicle VIN,
seller's name, address, and phone number) Title should be transferred,
should this (or anything else) be notarized?
If so, can it be done at a bank, or should it be done at the tag office
ahead of Saturday?
Do we need to put anything in the rear window, like a sign saying
Vehicle in Transit or get any kind of a driveaway permit?

Thanks very much for your help.  I need this information pretty quickly,
as we are coming in Saturday (leaving Tulsa this Friday night) so
anything you can do to ease this process will be greatly appreciated.

official word from a person, (George Wingo), employed by the State of

You have it figured out pretty well. In GA you can drive 30 days with a
Bill of Sale and insurance before being required to register the
vehicle. I cannot say about other states. 

You should insist on a TITLE along with the vehicle. That should be all
you need.

George Wingo


So, from the horse's mouth.  And, just called my insurance company,
incredibly she said my rates will go DOWN ~$80 per year (but I don't know
if that takes into account the two claims we've had recently).  So, they'll

(told them I'd be picking up the car on the 17th).  The tag agency here in
OK just needs the title, proof of insurance, the vehicle (so they can check
the VIN) and, erm, money (for the new tags).
On the vehicle that I'm selling to Kaleb, when he picks it up on
Wednesday morning, all we'll have to do is transfer the title, he keeps the
plate from that one.  So, everything's coming together.  Oh, I had ordered
a right hand side headlight cover assembly for Star, and of course the way
things turned out, I didn't need it.  Randy (EPS) Steele told me that I
could return it, no restocking charge, so I sent that back to him today.
If anyone needs one of those, it should be back in stock by Friday.

I suggest checking the Web sites of the Bureaus of Motor Vehicles in 
both states. You may find some information and even downloadable forms 
there.


A few months ago I bought a car in Florida to register in Indiana. I 
already knew what the Indiana requirements were -- a title and a bill 
of sale -- so I got those. Florida had a Web form for a bill of sale so 
I used that to make the seller feel better, but it could have been 
written on a cocktail napkin and met the legal requirements.


Before I left for Florida to pick up my car, I called my insurance 
agent and told him what I was up to. He mailed me a proof of insurance 
card, which I took with me, and I took along a current plate from one 
of my other cars for the trip home. That's not legal, but it made me 
feel better -- and if I had been stopped for some reason, I had enough 
documentation to prove that I was the legal owner of the car and that I 
was covered by insurance. Got home without incident, and the car is now 
legally registered.

Bottom line is, as long as you carry insurance on the vehicle (liability,
that is), it makes no difference what plates, if any.
And it is help full to be able to proof it is not stolen.
All states sell you a 30 day permit for a measly 20 bucks (+/-). Keeps all
the guesswork and 'he said'  out.

What he said.  When I lived in West Virginia, we brought cars into the 
state from Mississippi and Missouri and registered them with no problem. 
  (Even out-of-state inspection stickers are valid in WV.)  When I 
bought my 300D in Ohio (and I lived less than a mile from the state 
line), I had to send the title back to the seller to be notarized.  No 
one could tell me why only Ohio titles have to be notarized, but that's 
the way it is.


So I guess the moral of the story is assume nothing when buying a car in 
another state.

[MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK

2005-12-10 Thread Tom Reynolds
Well, as some of you may know by now, I'm buying Howard Ginsberg's 1988
300E.  Howard and the car ('Providence') are in Georgia, and I'm driving
down there next weekend with my daughter.  Does anyone have 1st hand
experience in how GA treats the license plates (tags)?  Here's what I've
been told by a GA resident, but I'd like confirmation one way or t'other.

I think what he said is that the plates transfer with the car and not the
owner.  So, I'd be driving back to Tulsa with GA plates, a Bill of Sale,
and a signed over title.  Right?  Wrong?  

Thanks all very much,
Tom Reynolds
Sand Springs, OK

I'd think that as long as you have the old plates (and the registration
card) you'd be safe if stopped. Even if the plates stay with the owner, as
is the case in Iowa, you could simply mail the plates back to the seller
once you register in Oklahoma.

Different laws apply in different States. FL and Utah to CA, I went
down to the local respective DMV's and purchased a trip permit good
for two weeks. Proof of insurance was required. Sales tax was
collected in FL and then I got credit for it when I registered the car
in CA.

Georgia allows owners to keep the plates for their cars with the option of 
transferring those plates to another car purchased later on.  Based on that, I'd 
say the plates belong to the owner, not the car.

Yep. 
In Michigan, you are allowed three days from date of purchase
to obtain a plate. If the car is replacing another, the insurance
on the old car will suffice. Unfortunately, the legal thing to
do is drive it without plates, which gains you unwanted police
attention. The illegal thing, putting the plate from your old
car on it, doesn't get you pulled over, but gets you a ticket
if you are stopped for other reasons.

usually as long as you have a bill of sale you dont really need a plate 
to transport it back.  Your ins will also cover it for 30 days from 
purchase.  Thats how it works in OK and I have done it many times.

No, I inquired about that one lately as well, but Howard sold it some time
ago, think maybe a few years ago, but a long-ish time, I know I would have
been kicking myself if it just would have been sold a few months before I
started looking.  This one is burgundy/palomino with 162k, a '88 300E.

Re: [MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK

2005-12-10 Thread Robert Tara Ludwick
If traveling any kind of distance it's best to go to the local DMV and 
get a drive away permit. It'ss probably cost from $10-20, you'll need 
proof of insurance . This will keep you out of trouble (if the old tags 
have an outstanding parking ticket on them or the PO had warrents or the 
thing was seen outside a bank that was robbed, guess where you'll be 
spending a few days ??? :-). Make SURE to check with your local DMV to 
see exactly what kind of paperwork that you will need to register it in 
your state. GA has fairly liberal  requirements for tagging older cars, 
but your state may require more, or an afadavit of some kind from GA 
saying that you don't need such and such. ( Last time I bought a car in 
Maine and brought it to Arkansas, I wound up having to pay the state of 
maine to ship their title requirement info to Arkansas because AR. had a 
book that was outdated by a few years and was too lazy/cheap to get the 
info themselves. It took me about 7 months to get a title.)
I don't know if any still have this requirement, but some states used to 
make you check in at the truck weigh station if on a drive away permit, 
watch the signs when approaching the scales.
