hello,
my question is... um a few days ago i purchased a 68 camaro (project n it needs a ton of work) and the person i bought it from said he got it from a towing station....this was april last year......i purchased it from him for 500 bucks using the towing place as my seller....the paper work says the last registration was in 2006 n i just bought it on the 28th...any idea what the costs might be at the dmv??
has anyone had this happen to them?
please let me know
i would apreciate it...
thanks

 

JUST take ALOT of money with you, they've jacked up all the fees.

 

yea im going with about 800 bucks

 

They will want fees for each year it wasn't registered plus penalties. The good news is that California doesn't recognize cars as collectible, so the annual fee for a 1968 is just the basic fee for a fully depreciated used car.

 

so do you think it might be more or less that $250 probably?
my payday is monday n i want to get this over with lol!

 

Dont let them just throw a fee at you and accept it. They will tack on every nickel and penny they can, hoping you'll pay it. If you complain, you can end up paying a lot less than they demand.

 

I bought a 1992 Camaro RS n da person i bought it from didnt register da car and i had to pay like $380 dollars so probly ur gonna pay like a good $600 dollars or more mayb

 

Is the car in the system? You can call AAA (if r a member) or dmv and give them the vin number and see if it clear or anything...
Thats what i did when i bought my 54 ford a few years back. They said there was no record for it, b/c of it not being registerd 4 a long time and that it was out of the system. All i had to do was re-register it and get a new pink, it was like 350.00-ish.
Good luck.

 

yea i finally did it yesterday...they only charged me $301...
n i guess the old owner didnt register it for a long time....i think the clerk was a bit stupid...she made a big deal of it....first she said the car was stolen.....then she says the car was registered under a different name...i was like DUH im buying REMEMBER!
and finally all this crap about the car not being in the system n i got to have matching numbers so now i have to take it so that they see the vin number and FINALLY APpROVE it! MAN i want to get this over with!
on this specific car the vin is a tag on the door...hope they dont B.S. about that either...wish me luck fellas!
