Fort Drum auction

[doghead]

I finally got one(M35A2)! Hopefully tomorrow I will get final acknowlegement from GL. Then on to EUC approval. Then dealing with no SF-97. Then the fun trip home? I'm stoked,my wife is Pi$$ed off! (Event #1832 Lot#347 ( 5/4/06, Update on wife status; much better now!)

 

[emmado22]

whats your plan for registering it with no SF-97?????

 

[doghead]

Not sure yet! possibly Get someone in a different state to reg. first then transfer to me. Or maybe it will become a 1963 chevy C-80.(if you know what i mean) Or maybe try a title company.

Please do a search to find what I said about title companys. Go any other route except the title company.

Here is doghead's truck... http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=836211

Not a bad looking truck or price...


BTW, moving to the deuce forum....

MY question now becomes what happens if you get it registered as something it's not, and God forbid you get into an accident.. Your insurance company will find any # of reasons NOT to cover you, and you'd be screwed....

 

[Armada]

Looks good. You've got some nice options on it as well.

 

[doghead]

Thanks for the comments! The plan of registering as something else is a last resort thought,(not well planned at this time)! I did call GL customer relations today, and was told that they will "work with me " on getting an SF-97. She sounded quite positive and helpful. I'll keep you all informed as things progress(slowly).

What is the excuse the peckerheads at Govliq give for not providing SF-97s on some auctions?

 

[doghead]

I didn't ask, I was just trying to get some help from them(main office). I don't know how helpful they will be, yet.

And the vehicle would most likely be impounded until it was registered and insured properly. This is what would happen in Michigan at least. This is in addition to the citations for the lack of registration and insurance.

Some folks have said that the policy at GL is a "test" program. I think the test is to see if they can do away with the extra paperwork and effort and still get big bucks for the trucks. It was also suggested that we should all call GL and let them know just how bad it sucks that they are not providing titles road worthy vehicles. I think I read the article in the newest issue of Military Vehicles magazine.

I wonder, what does it cost an individual to take a SF97 to a DMV office and get a title? Normal titling fees and such? I think that and the time and man hours it would take to do all the paperwork and trips to DMV is the reason GL doesn't want to fool with it. Since they are not a US Government agency, they would have to take legal possession of the vehicle by transferring the SF97 into their name and then hand you a signed title to transfer into your name when purchased. Wasn't there talk a while back about guys having trouble titling their Deuce because the SF97 was in GLs name and not the individuals? I think that might have been GLs first attempt at saving some time and money, was to just let the customer have their SF97. Apparently that is not legal though, so they either pay to get a real title or they give you nothing. I think we all know how a corporate mind would think. Just my .02

Didn't the SF97 they used to give you actually come from the DRMO? It might have been that they screwed up the info so bad that a lot of the SF97`s had problems.

 

[WillWagner]

The S-97 that came with my deuce was from the El Toro DRMO. It had NO info about the truck. When I got it at auction from a local school district that it was given to, it also came with a water buffalo..again no info on the S-97 about the buffalo. There was no VIN, year, model, wt, nothing except a body style...2dr truck, cargo 2 1/2 ton c90, and a date of transfer by who to whom and a mileage. I can see how the DRMOs screw up on the S-97 document. Thanks to the great people who registered it. no problems during greistration with the exception of transposing two numbers on the VIN, but that was fixed right now, with no other issues.

SF-97s

The new issue of Military Vehicles magazine is in deed where you saw the editors comments about the GL no SF-97 thing. It was brought up in a letter to the editor By the Memphis Equipment Co. Owner. Gl says they are doing it as a test and welcome customer comments about the policy.
I sent my comment in by email 5 minutes ago. I will no longer buy anything from GL until they start issuing documentation that can be used in the State of New York to register my vehicles. I spend around $22000.00 annually with them. I know the big guys think that's small potatoes but it's a lot to me. No More from here on. John Tennis

 

[mangus580]

John, and others.... I know my deuce after initial registration does not have a title. It has a transferable registration. Has anyone actually attempted to register one in NY with just the bill of sale? Because of their age, they arent required to have a title.

Hi,

Read through this topic from another website, and read the one from Unimogr. It was via his connection in Maine, I was able to get my M135 registered in MA.

http://forum.newjo.org/index.php?showtopic=5253&hl=m135

with a minimum of fuss and a bit of "english" i was able to cover all the questions needed by the RMV. of Maine.

 

[doghead]

Wow! Thank's n1bnc. Thank you to everyone for your comments and help. I'll call on Monday to see if Haskell can help me!
