anyone know the process and cost to change a vehicle from P to H?

[Party rocK]

does the other party (seller) have to be present at the counter or can he copy his legal documents etc. and let the buyer do the transfer when changing over the vehicle into his/her name?

ps. if there is a change of colour on the vehicle that is different from the colour on the certified copy ..what has to be done ? thanks in advance .

[ronaldinho gaucho]

how about changing your vehicle from R to P,Whats the process with that

[Lance]

I don't believe this infor. has been posted as yet,so here goes;

I just got back home after seeking to transfer a PCP vehicle which was first registered in May 2010 and myself and buyer were advised that all roll-on roll-off units which have been registered over the last 2 years are subject to an off site exercise and the period needed to clear the transfer is up to 2 weeks.

Until the paper work comes back the licensing authority will accept no payment for transfer and therfore no receipt can be provided to facilitate closure of bank financing during this period.

We visited with the officer in charge and he confirmed the situation and although he was sympathetic he indicated that the present situation was somewhat out of the licensing authorities hands and there was very little he could do.He also recognised that 'competent authorities' may not have published anything to inform the public.
All sellers and buyer be so advised.

Anyone,

Is this still the case?

Chit can be given to anyone. However, if you want to make sure, you can probably write a small letter and send a copy of your ID. That should be more than sufficient.

People, Sando is the best place to transfer. In and out in less than one hour.

That could never happen in POS.

Hey if ur license plate is PCA year 2002 how much do u have to pay?

[NorStar2K]

Hey if ur license plate is PCA year 2002 how much do u have to pay?

Come nah man, allyuh getting too lazy now. Check the first page of the post. Here, now do the math.

New Transfer Taxes (as of October 1 2009):
Cars
$6000.00 - Under 2 years
$4500.00 - Over 2 years but not over 5 years
$3000.00 - Over 5 years but not over 7 years
$1350.00 - Over 7 years but not over 10 years
$0150.00 - Over 10 years

And for those of you who don't transfer immediately at the point of purchase from the previous owner (cash purchases), you are circumventing the law. Banks, cognizant of this, will not issue the check for payment without the proof of transfer (chit).

Also proof of ownership does not lie with your insurance, but what the certified copy says. Yet policies are being issued without an updated certified copy. And, in an accident the previous owner can be held accountable especially in the event of an injury/accidental death.

And those of you who've never transferred will soon find out the implications of this if you have to get your vehicle inspected (5+). But hey, I'm sure someone will say there's a way around that right too? SMH!

[x2bord]
