The DMV part went relatively smooth. I was sure-fire expecting them to want something absolutely bizarre but thankfully my chest pains didn’t increase!
Ladies & Gentlemen; it is here. I kid you not! The SF97 for my 2002 S&S M1083A1 is HERE. August 2021 until April 27,2022. Juts under 9 months. Hoorah, hooray, it’s a really great day!
Now to deal with NY State DMV. Oi vey.
Update: I received a SF97 in November 2021. It wasn’t correct and had to be redone (3rd time). I worked through GP to get a new one created and they just sent it off to DLA for processing. GP believes they should get it back in a couple weeks then get it off to me after another couple of...
Update: Today is December 16th. Have not received the twice corrected SF97 yet. This problem mostly rests with DLA. However, the f GP had verified the vehicle info up front, and correctly, this debacle might not have happened.
UPDATE: SF97 arrived today!!!
But…… It shows the vehicle being a 8 cylinder instead of 6. It also shows a purchase price of $12,349.96 (I paid $4300). The weights (shipping & GVWR) are incorrect.
I called GP and spoke with the Title Department. They told me it would be another long wait...
UPDATE: My SF97 was incorrectly filled out by DLA & GP kicked it back. Yesterday I got a call from DLA saying the SF97 has been corrected and will be sent back to GP this week. Not sure how long it will take GP to do their bit before it is finally ready to mail to me.
I personally called DLA...
Update: 9/28/21. GP tells me that the SF97 is not requested from DLA (per DLA’s contract) until the vehicle has been picked up and that’s when the clock starts on the processing time.
In my case the timelines is: 8/4/21 purchased vehicle. 8/6/21 submitted both EUC & SF97. 8/20/21 picked up...
I receive a customer service survey from GP. I was not nasty or mean - but I let them know in clear terms that their CSA’s aren’t familiar with many of the topics I contact them about, and, I made it very clear that with the level of charges / fees we pay that a SF97 should not take more than 3...
Sharing my experience & current status.
I completed and sent the EUC & SF97 to GovPlanet within 24 hours of purchase.
EUC came fairly quickly and I was able to get the Item Release and pick up the MTV.
After a week of no SF97 action I called GovPlanet & was told it would take 8 to 12 weeks...
