Sounds like I have to go to the 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.

What was the deal for Oregoonians? $10 to register the car? And property taxes were killing you, so you voted to underfund the schools?

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

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

Well boys and girls, yesterday I went to the Georgia Tax Commission's website and looked up the local (Fayette County) tag office location, and 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 daughter and I will be leaving to drive back to Tulsa. What do we need 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.

Re: [MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK
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. --mf _ L. Mark Finch Indianapolis 1982 300D Turbodiesel
Re: [MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK
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.

That's what I did when I bought a van in PA and drove it to MI. To handle the proof of insurance, I called up my insurance agent and gave them the VIN, and they faxed an insurance binder to me immediately. I probably could have gotten away without doing any of that, but it was reassuring to know I was legal and had the paperwork to prove it.

OK titles have to be notarized. tom savage wrote: Russ Williams wrote: Just to be safe have the Seller get the Ga. Title Notarized when you buy the car (DAMHIK). 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.

Desert Rat wrote: Different laws apply in different States. 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.
Re: [MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK
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.

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 -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK
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
plates no longer legally transfer with car, but the seller will generally still keep the plates on the car On 12/10/05, Tom Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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.

Re: [MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK
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. -Robert Tom Reynolds wrote: Well, as some of you may know by now, I'm buying Howard Ginsberg's 1988 300E.
