Things not looking good for me...

[supra brit]

Initially, I was told I would owe the guy $750 for installation of the motor...then about $125 more for power steering, and now I'm going to owe the cost of a new battery...and maybe more. He said no more than $900 though...

Of course, he did give me a $400 clutch, about $500 of suspension parts, and he's making me an exhaust, but I have no idea how I'm going to have enough to pay him off...I'll be close, but even if I do pay him off, I still have tags/registration, emissions, and insurance to deal with.

I'm so stressed, especially having two jobs is starting to kick my @$$...

Oh, by the way, I have two weeks for tags and insurance...I officially bought the car on July 19th...

I'm so f-ed...

[JayPat83]

thanks for not thinking about me. i told you got you into the car and as long as it didn't divert from the initial deal much i'd make sure everything went fine!

[supra brit]

Maybe I will just sell it.

[nametakennow]

Just don't drive it til you can afford registration... I'm sure I can find a place for you to put it so your neighbors won't get mad or anything .

[supra brit]

The title says it has to be done within 30 days of date of sale...if I take it in too late they'll fine me.

[JayPat83]

im tired of people that i try to help get things accomplished and they dont want to see it through themselves

[nametakennow]

Fine vs selling the car... hmmmmmmmm...

I doubt they'll fine you that badly for a tardy registration.

It'll all work out. Life has a balance. I would say that excludes women, but seeing as you are one, you'd probably find some way of kicking me in the nuts from across town...

edit: How much is registration? A loan from a friend might be in order... you gotta have some nice (rich) friends...

[supra brit]

I don't know probably $60...even if i get that how will I afford insurance?

[supra brit]

And Jay, how are you going to help me? Let's face it, I'm getting f-ed for this.

[JayPat83]

NO YOU ARE NOT!!!! you are getting a great deal! you could not have possibly found a better deal/car for the money unless like i gave you my car!

[NoStickers]

You don't have to register, you just have to have the title transfered.

[nametakennow]

He's right. A running S13 (not to mention with a newer than chassis engine) for ~$900? Good stuff.

$60 isn't bad. Like I said, find the cash somewhere, even if out of a friend's pocket, then just don't drive it til you can afford to insure. It sucks, but it will be worth the wait!

[JayPat83]

^^^ like he said just send in the title to get it renewed in your name and sit on it til you have the insurance money

[JayPat83]

she wont take friend's money

[supra brit]

I don't understand. What do I do then? get tags & emissions? What do I do with the title, where do I go?

[JayPat83]

tag office and they send it off and mail you a new one

[NoStickers]

I didn't even send mine in. Take it to where you would have it registered and they should do it for you. They charge you tax on the vehicle purchase I do believe.

[supra brit]

I can't believe they f-in tax that.

[NoStickers]

Well here in FL the first time you register a vehicle they charge you $100.

[supra brit]

Oh my God...then another $60 for tags!? Then $20 for emissions?! I'm done!

[Anand]

register the car... "non operable" or whatever it's called..

so you do't have to smog it or anything till you have to money for it

[NoStickers]

I think you should just transfer the title and garage it til you have the money to insure/register it.

[supra brit]

I don't have a garage...mom's trans am and dad's 300zx are assigned to it. but yeah i know what you're saying...

[JayPat83]

i'm trying to help her i think she just had her info confused from other people. it hard when your young and your parents don't want to help you with anything

[supra brit]

my parents are the #1 problem...and #2 is the money.

Minimum coverage for insurance...they will be pissed about that but I will tell them if they want full cov, they can pay for it cuz i can't afford it.

I OWN the car, so I can do minim. cov.

[Anand]

exactly!

[supra brit]

But can I do minum. cov. on the 240 without affecting their full coverage on the Altima, the Poostang, and the Minivan?

[nametakennow]

If you get it as a separate policy, yes. If you're adding it to their policy, that might get a wee bit difficult. However, I think you can have different amounts of coverage on different vehicles.

yeah, you should be able to have differnet ammounts of coverage, i am on my mom's policy, her 98 cherokee is full coverage where i am just liability

[Anand]

Yes, you can absolutely do that...

you can just have liability on yours without changing anything on your parents cars
