What you are missing is probably the bill of sale... I know I'm nitpicking words here but it's important for YOU, the buyer, to understand what paperwork is missing and what you will eventually get from the state. -alex |

The solution is to have Subaru print another title document and resend it. |

The Certificate of Origin allows a car to be initially titled. It is a one-time use document that stays with the state where the car is initially titled. You don't get a copy of it... In any case, you can take this up with the DMV and ask them for clarification. You get a title AFTER you turn in the Certificate of Origin. And you can prove your ownership, too. The Bill of Sale and other documents are just as good, along with temporary tags for transporting the car. You have 20 days to complete DMV registration anyhow. -alex |

Thanks guys for helping me clear this up. I am so overworked that I mis-remembered the docs I got. It turns out I have all the data sent in the original pack, and it did not include the title, which explains why I can't find it. :P
EDIT: I have the original Cert. of Origin. I have all the stuff I need now. |

Hey guys, I need advice.
I purchased a BRZ from Heuberger Motors on 10/30, and I took delivery of the car on 11/7. From reading this thread, I thought that I'd have 20 days from the day the car was brought into CA to register the car in California, which gives me until the 26th or so. However, I tried to register today, and they charged me a late penalty fee, which was more than double the normal registration cost. I tried to contest it, but they said that the 20 days applies to the date the car was purchased, not when it was brought into California. I tried mentioning the nonresident vehicle information that's listed on the DMV site, but they said that since it's a new car it's not a nonresident vehicle. I'm pretty annoyed right now honestly having to deal with this and being out an extra $400, but what's the right answer in this case, and what should I do? Thanks in advance. |

So if you bought it 11/1 and didn't get the car shipped until 11/30, you're paying an extra penalty because you got the car after their 20-day period? I still suggest you escalate this with the field office supervisor. Or call the state info line and get clarification. This seems to be an isolated case of poor training on the part of whomever that took care of your paperwork at your local DMV. -alex |

From the DMV site: "A nonresident vehicle was last registered outside the state of California. Anyone who brings a vehicle into California, or purchases a nonresident vehicle while in California, should be aware of the registration requirements. " Technically the car was issued a Certificate of Ownership to the dealer located in CO. For all intents and purposes, the Certificate of Ownership functions as a title until the first registration. Since it was assigned by Subaru to a Colorado dealer, the defacto point is that it is a non-resident vehicle. Don't back down. The people you dealt with are wrong.

They did give me an Application for Refund though, which is a form I'd fill out and send to the Sacramento DMV with the reason for requesting a refund, since they told me they don't do refunds at the DMV office (which I don't know whether or not it's bs too). Do you think this application would actually get me anywhere, or if not, what should I do? Thanks again so much for your guys' help. By the way, just so no one has this experience in the future, this is at the DMV office in Hawthorne, CA. |
