. Don’t recommend it but still
I think because different states operate differently. My son had temp plates for 9 months during the pandi.......So, getting plates right now can be a PIA depending on where you order from and where you live.
OK,, so,, under Fla law, which the OP states, and others back up, says you cant drive your new truck till the temp tag is legal and dated, what would you do if it was your truck? Lets say it's your only vehicle? And you relied on this "ornament" to live your life?? And you paid out the money for the truck? What name, other than ornament would you call it? Why do some feel the necessity to turn the victim of this senseless bullshit into the bad guy, telling him he's at fault?
I paid all applicable fees when it purchased my vehicles, live in Florida and always buy from 5 Star in Georgia. When it did not have title in 30 days Florida DMA provided additional temp tag.I know posting in anger is not the best thing but at this point I have no idea what else I can do.
I placed my order through Chapman and they were super cool throughout the order process. Since I picked up the Maverick 2/26 it has been a real hassle with the registration. I was not sent a temp tag by them so I got one from the dealer here. Florida temp tags are only 30 days, but that should be plenty of time to get the title here and have the vehicle registered. Two weeks ago I heard nothing from the DMV so I reached out. The state showed the title still had not arrived so I reached out to sales. They said if I didn't have it by 3/24 to let them know and I would be overnighted a PA temp tag, good for 60 days.
Not one to wait until the last minute I emailed this past Monday, 3/21, and explained to the sales rep that I hadn't got anything from the state and it still shows that they had not received the title. I didn't hear anything back so I emailed the GM. I then heard back from the sales rep that they were going to wait until Thursday to send it. Thursday an email comes and says "We are waiting for PAA to send us a brick of temp tags so that we can send you one. Hopefully, we get them today or tmrw so we can overnight it to you." Nothing came Friday. Nothing came Saturday, which was the last day my FL temp tag was valid. I am now stuck with a vehicle I cannot legally drive. This means I cannot drive to work. This means I cannot pick up my son from school or take him to his swimming lessons. This means I cannot drive my mother to the hospital and she's due to have heart surgery this week. This means I cannot operate a vehicle I just purchased.
I am hard pressed to buy that the dealer had absolutely no temp tags available because that would mean that they couldn't sell a vehicle for the last three days. They couldn't get one from any of the other three locations sent to me? They can't get the title to my state in 30 days? This is beyond ridiculous and I am at a loss for what to do next.
I’d drive it. Lol
A. Why’s it on the lawn?
Via the website.
In Washington State, your 12 month expiration date is 12 months from date of purchase, not from registration or titling. So here you are paying the whole time you're on a temporary tag.
