[charger chris]

[charger chris]

[polywideblock]

here in oz all I have had to do is send a copy of title to 'Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development' leave it blank , just the  last owner in us and they send a "vehicle import approval". have not had to put car in my name , us customs likes to sign off on car to  make sure there are not 2 of the same vin floating around the world   

[charger chris]

  that is what i thought when i was checking into for him.

Call the DMV for the appropriate state.   They will give you an answer.

Since Kern Dog is on grammar hunt again, I'll try not to make to many typo's......
Bare in mind please that some of us are foreing to North American written language. Caveman is from hungary.
Personally I can handle myself pretty well to read / write / Speak Dutch, French, English and German....

In my personal case the charger arrived with a clear blank title. The guys at the customs know who the car is going to. over here they make a new document since the US title cant be used in our DMV system. After that you pay import taxes and custom fees. Now the car is officially registered in your name and you can have it technically inspected to finally become a set of licence plates.

I dont know about your country but another thing, here in Belgium every vehicle must have the VIN number stamped in the body / frame. That means I have to pay a visit to the official Chrysler import agency wich is Fiat these days. They are the only ones allowed to do that. I have to do that before technical inspection or otherwise I will fail and cant get it on the road.

Grammar police?   Did you catch Charger Chris's first post?  It reads like a head injury.

Was it meant to me?I can not see any mistakes in my writing  
I'm from Hungary yes,but my English is pretty good so don't understand your comment if it was meant for me!
Let's not turn this topic into bashing,nobody is perfect!Thank you!

Anyway,
charger chrish,i can not remember now how the whole title thing was handled when i bought my '69!She was shipped with a company in Netherland and to be honest i can not remember how we managed it.They payed for the custom fees and i payed them cash when went to pick her up.
Guess,if i have my name on the back part of the title where it says Purchaser information.I didn't ask this question because i wanna register the car in my country.I just wanted to know for the shipping and custom purposes.

Thanks 69 and everyone!

The seller should have your name written on the title as the purchaser and that should be all you need to get a new title in your country.  That has been my experience with selling car into Canada from US.

When that is done the seller has released ownership to you. The car is yours to do whatever you wish.  Does that help?     

[cavemanno1]

Thanks crj1968,yes it helps!

The reason i asked this because i remembered going to my embassy in London UK to get something sign there.
Ok my wife just emailed me an old email from the seller!

The following is from the seller!

"Please find attached the Power of Attorney and the Odometer Disclosure Statement.  These are two forms that the State of Ohio is requiring to have completed.  On the Power of Attorney, we need to have Peter to sign in ink at the X and have it notorized by a Notary Public with seal.  We need this so we can have the title issued in his name so the Charger can be transported.  On the Odometer Disclosure Statement, we need Kamen to Sign in ink at the first X and print his name at the second X.

It is very important to have both of these forms sent back to us either by FedEX or UPS as soon as possible.  We need original signatures."

So i guess  Ohio state can issue the title in a non resident/citizen name but not Indiana.Or maybe the seller was a shop and not done privetally?

Anyway,thanks for the help guys!

Did you call Indiana?   If you can own real estate here, I'm sure you can own a car.  Last time you signed a Limited Power of Attorney(which had to be notorized to be legal).  It allowed someone (seller?dealer?) to act in your behalf.     The seller had to sign off on his end (odometer).

If Hungary needs the title in your name, I'm pretty sure it can be done.   I'm in Ohio with a Georgia drivers license, which I'm sure would complicate the crap out of this.  Otherwise, I would be happy to go over and do the footwork for you.

Like I said before, call Indiana.

Charger Chris,  nobody thinks your dumb.   

[cavemanno1]

So you saying i could get a title in my name?Everybody keep saying i can NOT!!!Interesting
I will get someone to call Indiana dmv.

So if i get a power of attorney and an odometer disclosure statement form and get it sign with the seller i could get a title in my name?
How do you get that form and from where,you know?

Thanks for the tip and the offer mate

Hi! I have bought two cars (a Packard and a Charger) from US and one shipping company sent them to Finland. The shipping company is opareta by couple of Finnish guys in Houston and Los Angeles. I gave the shipping company this "Power of Attorney" and they can make the export paperwork and sign for me. If I understood correctly I have some kind of remote address within their premises (in Pomona, CA) to make the paperwork less complicated. They did require a signed document that I sent to them.

I have titles for both and I'm marked as the buyer in both of them. The title for Packard has a mention that is exempt from the odometer disclosure (age or the fact that it didn't work?). Charger's odometer hasn't moved in ~30 years so it has "0000001" in the printed mileage field.

The whole process of buying a car from US was actually ridiculously easy with the help of these guys in the shipping company.

That's what I was thinking. A broker is the answer, and find a reputable one, at that.

That is good to here.   It's nice to know about a way around bureaucracy.---A market to be streamlined by competition and a need.

Yes, but some are really far from it.
Yes, I was directing my comments to Charger Chris.
By all accounts, you seem like a decent guy. I like your enthusiasm.
Using text speak on a forum may save the writer some time but it is annoying to many that try to read it. Teenage girls and young metrosexual men may be fine with that type of communication but these classic Mopar forums are primarily men over 40. I do welcome the younger  guys and gals to join in, please don't read me wrong. I just think that a person should not make their input here difficult to read.
By the way... I am not a Policeman, an English Teacher or an asshole. I'm just a high school graduate with a modicum of self respect...
