“all the agents at the dealership now have notes at their cubicle about Private Travelers because of this transaction”
I bet they do.
“And as I was walking out, I heard a single clap. Followed by another. And another. Faster, now. I turned to see Josh, slowly rising to his feet, a proud, silent respect in his eye. As I continued for the door, slowly but surely, a chorus of hands crescendoed into whoops and hollers. The entire dealership, the mechanics, the salesMEN, the wives, all stood staring in reverence, the wives in lust, as I pushed through the double glass doors in slow motion and out into my carrier. The credits rolled. True story.”
Label taxes as private sale fee…
The whole ‘what did you leant a out this transaction’ triggered me. Fuck you dude, I’m here to sell stuff not be your student.
I like how the car (carrier) crashed on him, not that he crashed the car. It’s like they refuse to accept any responsibility, so it’s definitely the car’s fault.
“The tree got closer and closer and hit my car.”
I am under the impression that this Josh is a man in between. Or is straight up telling him what he wants to hear and taking his money. I guess he will find out when his “carrier crashes” again.
Nevermind all the terminology gobledygook. This sounds an awful lot like a temporary tag, or a temporary permit to relocate a vehicle without a plate. Which I think is pretty standard in any state, and I can see a dealership begrudgingly doing this if it gets the car off the lot. But it’s very temporary, like days to weeks in my experience. I think the DMV would catch on if you kept coming back for permits.
Also, I’m guessing sovcit here doesn’t have a “FARM USE” loophole in their state?
I’m pretty sure in order to get a farm use exemption, the property you live at would have to be zoned as agricultural.
I wonder what the state’s recourse is for this dealership and the sale. This type of sale has to throw a bunch of red flags into the system.
So long as the sales tax gets paid the state probably doesn’t care much. Registration and insurance is only required for driving on public roads, you can make a new car a lawn ornament or for your personal off road track without those.
Right. The litigious nature of things though, I wonder if the dealership could be at fault for giving some POS a car without proof of either. Registration of and insurance for this vehicle is required due to the public road use. Ain’t like he’s driving it solely on his own land.
He’s not driving, he’s commuting! Gosh
In a carrier!
Why would a random dealership call the secretary of state, and even if they did why would they not have called the department of transport before that? That’s like calling the CEO before calling the customer hotline
I’m going to guess that they didn’t. And Josh just said whatever he had to to meet his sales target for the month.
I’m going to guess there was no Josh.
This is probably more likely.
Every sovcit success story hinges on one person who decided to go with the flow and not follow the law.
It hinges on a dice roll finding someone half as dumb as they are.
The places I’ve worked had a surprising fraction of people who didn’t understand the job yet somehow managed to not get fired. I’m not that surprised.
feels like you just described the entire conservative movement
“Car salesman lies to customers make a commission.”
