Info on buying a Cheyenne
I'm thinking about buying a 72 Cheyenne. The price is right, just need to go look at it. All I need to do is have the seller transfer the title, correct? Then go to the DMV to get a plate to drive it home? I definitely don't want to trailer it home. It's 150 miles and I would have to rent one. An extra expense I don't need. I've bought most of my vehicles from dealers and you transfer plates with them.(or get a new plate) There should be some type of law where you could drive it home and get the plate later.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
Up here we can buy driving permits to get the vehicle home without plates. Costs me $20 for 24hrs and I need a bill of sale. Nothing like that in your area?

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
I've never heard of that before. Where would you get it from, the DMV?

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
i never had a problem in florida. I drove my truck from commerce, ga to pensacola, fl with a piece of paper on my back window, tag applied for.
Drove it to insurance guy and tag place, never said a word. Im sure if you can show the "police" or whoever you just bought the truck, they probably wont give you a hard time, unless they see you a week later with no tags, then you might have a problem. Also, my insurance covers me...thats another reason i was not worried, you might want to check your insurance policy or just give them a call and find out.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
In Arkansas, with a bill of sale & privately-transacted (no dealer-involved), I believe you've got up to 30 days to title & plate it. Better have insurance, though, or it's ticket-time when/if you get stopped.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
you need to call your DMV, period. You could do the "tag applied for" paper, but then you may get a $50 ticket, and impounded, and court fees... then you'll be really ticked off at pcmcobra. There's things you can get away with in one part of the state, that'll get you locked up in other parts of the state.
Here in Ohio, if you have a tire on a public road, it is required to be registered and insured... even on the back od a wrecker. a 30 day tag can be had here from our BMV for about 20 bucks or so...good for the whole month, regardless of where you are or where you're going. I know in Tx, you can get a one way tag for 10 bucks or so, god for one trip, designed for your situation alone. Call your DMV. |

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
In Mississippi with the signed and dated title you've got 30 days to buy a tag. Call your insurance agent for info on your insurance.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
You don't mention if it has curent tags now or not. Here in Cali if it has curent tags you have 5 buisness days to go to DMV and change registration. It must have ins. for those 5 days to be legal but I know my policy covers me for 30 days on any vehical I buy with out me even calling them. Check first with your state, that costs nothing and can save you big problems later. Also here you can have a car on a trailer with out curent tags as long as the trailer is curent and provided you did not need to have the car on public roads to get it on the trailer.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
Well, I know that the insurance is covered. My insurance agent sleeps next to me every night.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
The wifey says that in FL the seller keeps the tag. I like the Cali law better. It makes more sense.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
'71 and '72 look the same to me. I'm not saying that is the right thing to do but I have done wrong a few times myself. Unless they look at the VIN plate or you get in a wreck nobody would ever know. I'm sure your wife would take you to get it and follow you home. She could serve as a blocker running behind you. I have not made a habbit of doing this but I have done it a few times in Virginia. By the way, I will be in the Kissimmee Area from Feb, 15th to the 19th. We could meet in "Old Town" on that Saturday night.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
I agree... I have done it, and probably would again. I've delivered a car across the state with expired tags, dragged the longhorn 450 miles on a tow bar with no tags, drove the old GMC with out of state tags from another car... I actually took the front tag off my car, put it on the back of the GMC, and drove both of them home, one in front of the other.
And I'll do any...even all of those again. I'm just poinitng out that if the law in your area is a real pain... ticket you for the most minor infraction, then you need to thnk twice. |

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
Here in Utah, you can just run down to the DMV pay their fee and get a temporary permit. This seems like the safest way to me and it's real easy to do. I plan on doing this with mine in the spring while I get the exhaust fixed so I can get it legal. I would think that you would get in more trouble for having the wrong plates on it than none at all.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
Call your state highway patrol, they can give great advice on what you can and can not get by with. Make sure you write down the date, time and officer. If you get pulled over this will go along ways towards walking away a free man.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
We could do that. Where are your seats at. I'm in the Segrave section. The group i'm with will be wondering the infield before the race. You could PM me a cell phone number. My cell phone won't work in the states (Austrian issued) but one of my buddies will have one. We could meet up somewhere.

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
here in missouri you can transfer tags from one truck to the other so if you said you sold the 71 and were transferring them to the 72 you'd have 30 days just no way around the insurance bit but like said most states very on the laws i wish you luck though

Re: Info on buying a Cheyenne
In VA you can purchase a one-way permit online for $5.00, I've done that several times.
