It looks like I might be trading the eclipse this weekend for a 3000GT from Michigan. I'm in NY. Has anyone on the forumtraded a vehicle for vehicle before? I'm not really sure how it's supposed to work.

Do I leave the insurance on the eclipse until he gets home or is that his responsibility?I really can't afford my insurance going up if something happens during his trip back.

Is there anything else that I need to know? I'm not really sure if I'm going to be driving half-way or if he is making the whole trip.

 

I don't know how you guys will work out the bill of sale/transfer of title...having never traded someone cars before...but...as soon as you make the deal, get the VIN off of the 3kgt, call your insurance company, get coverage for the 3000, drop insurance for the Eclipse. I would also remove your liscense plate when the deal is made. I wouldn't put it on the new car though, the penalties for using an improper tag are usually worse than no tag at all. Most police will have some leniency for vehicles in transit...

 

get a moving permit from the dmv its fast and simple make sure to take poff ure pl8s when u get the car do what ts said get insur for the 3 and drop the ec

 

when you purchase a vehicle froma private seller you have 10 days after the day of purchase to get tags and registration. it's super easy to take off and add insurance. jus tmake a phone call as soon as you get to the place that you are trading. cll ur insance company, give them the vin, add the vehicle and remove ur eclipse. it's really that easy.

 

True that, I just did the same thing with an Altima. As Ron said, its actually really easy.

 

and give off the title to the owner of your old car...and if he doesnt give you his title(lost ow/e) becarful

 

If he didnt have the title in his hands when I pulled up. Id kick 'em in the nuts. Why would anyone do that, JP? lolol

 

thats a good plan b....plan c is telling him you car was involved in 3 hit and runs and they didnt catch it yet so he better tak e the car

 

while we are on this topic i plan on getting rid of the eclipse and either getting a 95 gsx, or a 2004 golf r32 [:@]don't e-hit me, atleast its not a honda, and suggestions or comments???

 

VW is a good IMO as a matter of fact the golf is my favorite "euro-tuner"....problems for both are expensive...IMO (im sure id get e-hit for this) i would go VW only because of thier "benifits" in cargo and they are good to put enginemods in
