So here's a fun problem I'm hoping some of our fellow IL members can offer some advice on... my IL license expired this month. I can't renew it because NY (where I lived ~15 years ago) suspended my driving privileges for not paying a $25 fee I knew nothing about when I moved. I've done all the paperwork to un-**** that, but the NY DMV currently has a > 1 month backlog for processing that paperwork.
If I can't get my license renewed in time, I'm trying to figure out how I can still buy the car and register it in my wife's name (and just change the registration when my license is sorted). Tesla SA is telling me it's not possible, that even as a co-signer on the loan I'd have to provide a valid license/be a registrant. Is this possible through 3rd party financing? I could probably even buy the car in cash if I absolutely had to... but I'd really rather not. Has anyone ever had a situation where you needed to "buy" the car for someone else... how did you handle it?
My wife has the credit score to get a decent loan, but probably not the income by herself...
