random question guys

[tnt-salvage]

i have a buyer for my truck im selling, he would like to pick it up tomorrow but the issue is there is no way for him to buy a permit or insure it in the small town we will be meeting in to make the deal/sale. he is asking to use our plates we have on the truck to drive the 2.5 hours home. i have never had this come up before and just wanted to ask some of you what you think. should i let him use the plates? im thinking im better off trying to pick up a permit intown before we leave and have him call the place when im there and have them make the permit in his name? thanks for the info

sounds fishy to me beware

If its in Alberta he can pull a plate off another vehicle in his name and transport it. You have 14 days to transfer it over.

I don't know what the deal is in BC but in Alberta you have a few days to get the proper plates on it. He can just screw on plates from his other vehicle.

 

[snopro]

Beat me to it Sweld. He is right tnt.

In BC if you buy a vehicle you can use the plate off your old vehicle and have 10 days to transfer.Dont let someone use your plates to drive the vehicle as you are liable if he gets in a accident.

With a deposit of course

Only the owner can get registration of the vehicle. Insurance must be provided as with proof of purchase to get it also.

I would just let him do his own stuff. There are registries everywhere, and he is gonna have to be a big boy and do it himself.

Don't do it! It can open up a world of hurt for you!

 

[imdoo'n]

NO-NO-NO once the guy leaves yer driveway with your plate you will never see him again, and the guy can ride your plates and truck all year, and can obtain a sticker from any other vehicle and attach it to your plate and keep going, you may be in for a lot of legal hassle. heard the licence stickers are getting 50 bucks on the street in gp.

no good deed goes unpunished! j/k
but in this case the liability rests with you.

I wouldn't even let anyone take a vehicle for a test drive without me on my insurance, No way would I let him drive away for good on it. He plays hit and run, you go to jail.

When he pays you for the truck i would like to borrow the money from you. I will pay you back on Tuesday, i promise.LOL
PS dont let him use the plate.

 

[Riverjet]

Stay clear!

Ive left my plate and insurance on trucks that i've sold. Worst case scenario you report the plate stolen if you never see it again....I've had 3/3 come back to me.

Just to clarify something, you have 2 weeks to transfer your registration but you still need insurance before you move anuwhere.

 

[CUSO]

It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle on a public road without proper insurance. You can transfer registration temporarily but eventually you have to register it properly.

Back to the op. just tell the guy to bring a plate from another vehicle he owns. All it takes is a phone call to his ins company and it will be covered. Just like bringing a new one home from the lot

thanks guys, the truck is gone he used his own plate off his chevy that gets parked for the winter and made up a signed transfer saying he sold the truck to his wife. i have my plate and $5000. now time to look for a new truck before the snow flys, kinda miss the truck but i know it was time to sell it. f350's with the triton v10 are not the best trucks to own. i never knew untill i bought it. and then i learned there issues. fuel milage and puking spark plugs out of the heads. luckly i only had 2 plugs blow out since i owned it but there are 8 more that could pop and at $200-$300 a hit it adds up going ten rounds haha. all in all the truck served us well.
