Anyone Know Procedures On Getting Tags With Salvage Title
Posted in Headlight Bulbs | Asked on Nov 6, 2011
Ok, my husband recently was given a Honda Civic with a salvaged title. The car has a few minor body issues such as damaged drivers side fender and headlight. He got it off of a trustworthy friend of ours who recovered this car as a repo. He ordered the fender for us for $40 and the light for $25. Since the parts came in they put them on the car and our friend towed it to our home. My husband took the title to our local BMV to get a inspection reciept ,have the title put completely into his name and get tags for the car. The girl at the BMV informed him that he cannot get tags for the car until it is inspected at the Ohio state patrol inspection office. When my husband asked her how we were to get the car there she told him since its local to drive the car there!!! WTH!!! They want you to get the car inspected, but won’t give you ohio plates, and you can’t legally drive with out plates. Hmmmm can someone tell me how we can go about this?? My husband loves this car and it was free so he’s not complaining too much we are just confused on a few things.

Get insurance on the car and find out if that state has a temporary permit you can buy. (thats what we do in our state) your only other choice is call the friend, the repo guy and ask him to hook you up with a flat bed tow truck and take the car down, get inspected and take it back. The repo guy may know how to get a tem tag too, but you can call motor vehicles also and ask
I doubt you’ll be able to get temporary tags since you don’t have to pay sales tax and it’s a private transaction. Temporary plates are for cars that you have to pay sales tax on and they just give you that extra 30 days.
I would have it hauled on a flat bed.
If you have a title you should be able to register it. It sounds like you all have emissions inspection up there and that is what she’s talking about.
Everyone is throwing away way too much money buying, financing, and selling their cars just because of everything on tv and online. The values you find mean nothing except profit to car manufacturers and dealers. I want this to end. I found this website and heard several radio interviews with the author and bought the short, cheap informational book. I’m glad someone finally had the guts to reveal this information to the public and I feel it’s our job to make sure it keeps spreading like wildfire giving us the advantage with our automotive needs. Take 2 minutes and check out the website and once you see the difference it can make in all of our lives, post this everywhere! This is our chance to save not only ours, but future generations and help with financial securities.
