My first recovery: Paperwork Checklist

[Buckmaw]

GL Paperwork:

Copy of Paid Invoice
Waiver and Release of Liability

My Paperwork:

Drivers License
Registration
Proof of Insurance

I will remove all firearms before leaving (this sucks).

Is there anything else, paperwork wise, that I need to take?

No that's it. Looks like you're good to go. However, have you secured your state's trip permit? You'll need that to legally operate an unlicensed vehicle on public roads. Unless that registration you listed is for that particular truck. But how can that be without actually having the title to the truck already?

I will be towing the truck (M1009) back so that is not a issue.

Thanks for double checking my list.

Roger that! Then you are good to go

Just won a duece - what registration do you need?

What "registration" do you need? I thought you have to get a VIN verfication from local law enforcement before you can register the vehicle?

 

[scrapman]

The registration he is referring to is the vehicle he is driving in the gate to make the pick up. Pepto & Tums in case you have problems either on base or on the trip home.

I always like to carry copies of the auction pics (you did save them at auction close didn't you ). That way when you get there if they try and pull some "switcharoo" or have parts stolen you have the pics to verify it.

good idea on the pics!!

 

[OldDominionIron]

So, if there are parts missing when you show up, compared to the pics you have (and I saved mine), what are your options?

I would imagine take it as it is, or possibly a refund and no truck

I've heard of them taking missing items off another truck to replace what is missing in some cases. Could be off somebody elses truck though . I think the offical resonse in to just void the sale. There has been a few people that GL made it right on damages but there has also been people that just got screwed. There has also been reports of GL trying to give you a completly different item than what you bid on.

All of this is just what I have heard from people. I myself have never had any problems with this particular issue but I have the pics just in case. If you have the pics and auction description it gives you some proof because GL takes it off their website after a day or so.
