Can you register a vehicle with a suspended license?

We Answered:

Lindsey W, There are lots of sites where you can get an online quote. http://www.goodinternetdeals.com/Auto-Insurance.html It only takes a few minutes to do.

Audrey Said:

Is this a car buying scam?

We Answered:

Well, I can give you the VIN and pics of my F150. As much as you would want to buy it, it's not for freaking sale and not for 10% of what it's worth, either!

Anyway, you, too...



How to recognize a vehicle scam attempt on CL:
# Shipping a vehicle to you is suggested by seller
# eBay Motors or another intermediary is specified by seller
# Payment by Western Union or a money wire is requested
# Price is unusually low (fraction of blue book value)

If you see these tell-tale signs, flag ad as "prohibited" and avoid

Offers to ship a vehicle are virtually 100% fraudulent

eBay has no involvment in craigslist for sale ads, and any eBay or similar emails or web pages you receive are fake

Never use Western Union or wire transfer to pay for goods - only a scammer will ask for this, and any funds sent will be lost

Do not buy vehicles site-unseen, regardless of low price. The vehicle does not exist, and any money you send will be lost.

Stories about divorcees or departing servicemen needing to sell quickly at a low price are generally fraudulent

If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Anne Said:

I just bought the car and It dont have emissions. I have "tag applied for" on my car. will i get pulled over?

We Answered:

First, take that title to the DMV, and have it transferred over to you, and get new tags. Then bring the new tags to your car, and put them on, and then you can drive to the inspection place, and get the emissions done.

You have to have the valid tags before you can do the emissions.
