CR title question (I have updated info)

[J. T. Toad]

Jim,
maybe I am confused, but by your response, SB100 is/was a GREAT thing, bad thing about it is they limited it to 500 "applicants" To grossly paraphrase, in 2001 it was limited to newly constructed vehichles and only to the assembler (not professional builders), then it was changed to be much broader in which the number of applications is sucked up quickly.

It could be exempt if it were registered by block date. My concern is that 5-10 years ago, 'title swaping' ran rapant. Does that mean that is your perspective car? no. For example, if it wasn't by block date or was registered intially in another state and the DMV/Lockyer catches up to it, you will have to re-register it and that 'new' block, could be problematic.


Does it mean that a dealer is willing to expose himself to liability for handling this transaction which may have loophole beginings? only you can answer that, but you can take comfort in the fact that a dealer is handling the transaction and not an individual. (you should be able to get your money back) (or fear it if they just disappear)(just an opinion)

But as Don/Ron suggested go to the dmv, here it from them, get it in writing, they are the ones with the paper trail that they rely on for investigations.
