We got ours yesterday, $600 each in a real paper check.The last round took forever to arrive and when it did it was a stupid looking debit card that might as well have had "I'm a scam" printed right on it. Was a PITA to use too. -Curt On Saturday, January 9, 2021, 12:57:10 PM EST, Allan

In Florida it has to go to a state inspection station for a complete inspection, which takes about 2-4 hours, after which (assuming it passes) they brand the car with a special VIN sticker on the "A" pillar post. -D > On Jan 9, 2021, at 1:40 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > That

That part's the same here. I bought salvage, which the insurance companies can legally sell only to dealers with a dismantler license, by having a dismantler buy it for me. Then I had to pay a specially trained cop $100 (state says no more than $100, which in practice means no less than $100)

I went back and looked at my files, and I was not 100% correct: Tarek’s W140 had a “rebuilt” title from NC, which Florida would recognize as a “regular” car. As far as Florida is concerned, if the state designated the car as rebuilt it’s roadworthy and no different than any other car on the

That’s what will happen to the 1999 E320 4Matic at some point. Whether or not it’s viable to buy here and move the cars north is questionable, as the costs involved to transport them, whether doing it yourself or some other way, would negate a lot of any potential profit I would think. CarMax
