I took my 914 into the California DMV to get a VIN verification on it, since it did have a title and is out of the DMV system. They refused to inspect it, saying it must be a 'complete car'. Now it didn't have an engine, trans, doors or hoods or seats or a dash, but the VIN isn't on any of those parts, and the reg 31 form has a checkbox for 'missing' on the engine and odometer.
This really had me angry. I know there are 3rd party licensed VIN verification people, will they give me the same dismissal? Join AAA and have them to do it? Any other ideas? Get Nevada title first and then xfter to CA? |

I know people who have done the VT route but you must pay sales tax on bluebook of car. They dont have titles but you get a registration that you can use to get a title. Disclaimer: check with your state before trying this Mass has the same rule re: sales tax. In Maine... For cars built before 1995, no title is needed. Reg. & sales tax based on Bill of Sale. You do need a valid address, though. I used a friend's. Both were problems for me in Mass, as I had bought the shell in CA for $200 back in 1988 (didn't know to ask for the CA title back then). Mass would have wanted to charge sales tax on bluebook AND penalties & interest for the slight 30 year delay. |
