Bought a new truck! How to register????

Report back what they say please.

I'm betting your gonna need a title signed by the previous owner and lien holder.

 

You bought a truck, how much could they have been stealing?

If it makes you feel any better you won't be the last person to come and tell a tale of woe.

 

I don't care what others say, you finance large purchases EVEN if you have money to buy them outright. The exception is a business but that's another situation.

The reason is the finance company has some means to fix a few problems like this, they have a stake in all of it not to lose money, and most of the times you can ask for help with problems like this.

Finance it, then pay it off within a couple months after you get it. You will have to get a release and pay for an updated title, but this isn't really much compared to what others have gone through.

I don't know why Texas is so anal about titles and such, here I use a bill of sale because it is a commercial vehicle, and apply for a title, which goes into the system and they notify the state where it was previously titled that it was transferred.

 

So you have to have the title to get it registered? A bill of sale from your dealer won't work?
