Hello All,
I know this is not a DMV specific forum but I thought some might had to go through the same process that I will.
I did end up selling my old car to Carmax as their offer was 10K more than the trade in value (what a nightmare process but oh well for 10K), I understand that the license plate stays with the seller which I have, also I have the bill of sale and all the forums needed to show the sale of the car. What I do not have is the actual registration paper for the old car that I have to give to the buyer during the sale.
Now my question, is with Tesla, I called them this morning and asked them if for the new car registration they do custom plate, the Agent said no but he said if you have your old plate and it is still valid (90 days within the sale) you can use it, so I gave him my license plate info and he confirmed it is showing under my name and is valid until May so he added it to the system to be used, and he said just make sure to bring it with you. I did ask what when Tesla transfer it would be be rewnoed as I am close to expiration, and if I will get the registration paper that day since it is not temporary registration anymore, he did not seem to know what I meant or it could be I did not know how to ask the question with the correct phraseology.
My question and concern if anyone did something silimar, Is Tesla gonna handle the transfer for me? meaning will I get the paper that shows the registration until May (or maybe until next year if the DMV required renewal since it is close to my expiration) like my old car? or I will have to go to the DMV asap and do that my self once I take the car? what if I got pulled over before and I need to show License and registration, how does this work so I know what expect next week before I drive off the lot.
Thanks,
