I finally managed to get my M1078 that was purchased from GovPlanet way back in February into my yard with SF-97 in hand. I am now trying to at least get the title for it and am running into a few snags.
In mid October I went to Terry's Tag & Title in Westminster and they told me they'd be able to title and tag it for about $800, but the only thing holding me back was the lack of insurance. After three weeks of run-around with State Farm, I finally got insured with Progressive Commercial and took the SF-97 and re-assignment of SF-97 letter in to get it processed by the same Terry's Tag & Title. This time they told me that they cannot take the SF-97 as it is not an actual title and that I'd need to get IronPlanet to send me a title transfer that was in their name. After contacting GovPlanet/IronPlanet they told me that it was possible, but would take several more weeks and cost a decent amount more money.
I have seen recent posts on here about people getting their LMTVs titled and registered in the state of Maryland, I am simply looking for guidance on what to do or where to go from here. Perhaps there are other tag and title places that are a bit more knowledgeable about what to do with a SF-97? I've heard that TNT tags in Thurmont has been helpful to some people, but have not tried them yet.
