Found based on your Youtube video for the Montana/Georgia thing.
Georgia is cracking down because the Georgia law (not a lawyer) says that if you remain here for 30+ days than you must register the car here. So EVEN if the LLC owns the car in Montana, the car is here in Georgia, you owe registration (which is 7% of the… Read more

My Father is 86 years old and has recently moved into a senior assisted living facility. He has a car loan of $18,000 on a car that is valued at approx. $13,000. He is judgment proof as he has no assets and lives strictly on social security. I tried calling the bank to see if they would let me surrender the car and… Read more

Thank you for this article. My husband and I placed a bunch of random things on Craigslist last weekend. The last time we listed something on Craigs list, we received no inquiries. This time to our surprise, inquiries from all over the place - although we stated LOCAL sales only on our ads. Anyways, I received a… Read more

Hey Steve, great article, thanks for taking the time to write it. I was selling something online, and a guy said he wanted to buy it for the asking price. I let him know that he could if I didn’t get a higher offer, and gave him my address. I got a higher offer so I won’t be selling it to him. But now he is saying… Read more

I just called this morning to ask for an informal hearing and the clerk stated that asking for something to be reduced will just irritate the court and I will end up with court costs and it will make the officer mad to be pulled into court and more costs because the court will have to pay extra wages because the… Read more
Steve, we bought a Honda Civic that still had warranty left on it, which was a major selling point. Now claim is being denied based on the previous owner. Said it was previous owner’s abuse/neglect. We have our records on oil changes done regularly and it was running fine until recently. I say that’s not fair...can… Read more

I am tying to sell a 2003 Alero, advertised on autotrader.com. A young lady and her boy fiend showed up and carefully looked at the car. I started it up and the boyfriend spent some time looking under the hood. I took him for a short test drive, all he wanted, basically just around the block. We negotiated the price… Read more
Authorities in Boardman, Ohio, said last October the suspect’s a white man in his 50s or 60s, heavy-set, balding, and bespectacled. At one point, he drove an early 2000s blue Dodge Grand Caravan. Read more
SC DMV told me a ‘bill of sale’, to them, is just a piece of paper that says your going to get the title. It isn’t a title and doesn’t ever replace one. Basically a 3rd party note.. If your home state title requires one to accompany the title and it says it on the title, then SC would require a ‘bill of sale’ with the… Read more
Hey Steve - great read. I bought a used car from a dealer about 9 months ago. Wife and I are going to have a baby so we want to sell it to get a 4 door car (One I had bought was not). When trying to sell, a potential buyer ran a carfax and found an odometer descrepancy of nearly 100k miles. It looks like the dealer… Read more
ATM skimmers have been pretty frequent around my city lately. Gas stations ATMs mostly but even the Walgreens by the house, too. They increased in frequency around here after the hurricane. (People are shitty.) Given all the movement of locals, the influx of outsiders to help after the hurricane, and the large number… Read more
As has been noted elsewhere in the thread: tagging your cars with Antique plates may also exempt the owner from personal property/usage taxes in those states that have them. This is certainly the case in Virginia and as someone noted, CT. That is a very heavy incentive to use Antique plates, even if it does push you… Read more
