Ok so I’m picking up a car in Sacramento in a couple weeks and need to know a few things. Not getting it shipped because I don’t trust the shipping, the car is in immaculate condition. Also, were flying out there and plan on seeing a few places on the way back. Plan on stopping in Slat Lake City, Chicago, and somewhere in between.
Anyways, I called albany hoping to get a decent answer as to how I would register the car for the drive home. Albany told me I had to call the DMN in California and ask for a in-transit permit. I tried calling but it was over a half hour wait on the phone so I looked it up.
i dont have a clue for your question, however when my dad bought his e36 from a friend in vancouver, they had it shipped here and it cost ~1k. took about a week. with costs of flying out, driving, hotels, etc. it might work out better?
It shouldn’t be to much more than a grand for the whole trip. I have the cash to pay for the car and I just sold my ZX2, checks in the mail. Even if it is over a grand I will be ok. Besides, I really want to get out that way and see things. Haven’t taken a vacation in years.
I’ll pm him, thanks!
Not so sure that is the best idea with it being a couple weeks away. If it’s the only way than yes but I’m sure there are other ways to be able to drive it back.
LOL, I would have but I had to leave for work in 5 minutes so I decided to start this thread instead.
Would I need the original title or would a copy of it faxed over be acceptable. I’m buying from a private party. He is a well known member on miataturbo.net. Thats where I found the car. I’m new to this so excuse the newbish questions.
Haven’t finished reading it yet but it’s basically everything and anything I would need to know. Others could use this link as a reference as well.
I also find it funny that the OP in that thread also got his miata from Sacramento CA let alone that it’s also a miata. I wasn’t searching on a miata forum, just odd coincidence.
