Car Totaled in lease?

It’ll cost you a grand + to ship it to the east coast, so add another 60 to the payment for the remaining term…not that far under your budget now. And can you live with only 640/mi a month?

Merry Christmas to you as well

I think it’s a dealer so I can probably work something out with them on pricing.

Wife’s job is a 8mile commute 3 times a week now since we moved much closer to the city

No idea, but I hope in March :slight_smile:
Where is 3.7 when we really need him? :thinking:
@okboye?

Why do you think it is a dealer? Doubt dealers do lease transfers.

Persons email shows a domain as a dealer website.

So we finalized a deal with MB and did all paperwork with finance manager but they cannot give us the car since it is out of state registration. Mass doesn’t do temp plates so do you know if we can cancel the deal all together and go to another dealer in NH let’s say?

I don’t understand how all the dealers in Mass say “we do LOTS of deals out of the state” when they can’t even issue temp tags

I talked to DMV in NC and they said it might take up to 30-45 days!

Maybe they trailer them home or have them delivered. Rent a u-haul pickup truck + trailer.

For MA dealer, out of state = NH

They won’t release the car at all. To their credit they gave us a basic C300 loaner till we get the car but we paid first months payment upfront so I already told them we will like to be reimbursed for the time lost not having our car. We were promised 2-3 days after New Years but it’s going on 2 weeks this upcoming Monday.

Why does it take NC 30-45 days to process tags when every other state it takes 1 day?

Well they saidnif the dealer issued temp plates, it’s not my concern but MASS doesn’t do temp plates so we cannot get the car.

I never had temp plates, either had current plates transferred or got new plates. Can you transfer your old plates?

Apparently Volvo owns the plates so we had to return them. Such a hassle!

State-by-state differences. In PA, I can transfer my plates any time, regardless of lease or buy. In OH, they issue new ones apparently on leases. The CA I bought my car off of looked at me cross eyed when I told him I wanted my plate back when I bought in OH to transfer when I got back home. He wanted to destroy it like they do there, and was reluctant to give it back. Ultimately, I won.

I agree, but then I also see many southern (less regulated) states can even get their plates at private tag agencies, not necessarily at official DMV offices, with minimal effort. Therefore, I am truly surprised OP has such a road block to get new plates issued in NC.

They have till Friday to figure it out. We even paid extra $200 for “third party” to do the paperwork so it’s actually a runner going to the DMV physically to do it. Maybe they are walking from MA to NC?

Can someone advise if we can pull out of our deal on the c43? Been almost three weeks and no car and hasn’t been registered as I called DMV in NC. We paid firsts month as part of our DAS. Wife is really mad and just wants to go out of state to get it done. Dealer said another week to get it on the road, if not more

Another deal pull out with only one side of the story, I’d wait for dealership perspective before give any further advice.

They said the “third party” has the paperwork to the car and they are at their mercy to see when it gets done. They are hoping for this weekend but might be another week or two. They claimed they told us it will take 7-10 days after signing (which already passed).

I told them if I knew it was going to take 7-10 days, I would have NEVER signed the deal. We already gave back the rental from insurance so why would we want to wait another week or so for the car. I would have went to New Hampshire to sign for the deal to get the car same day.

I will NEVER do a deal with a Mass dealer again if it is going to be a “out of state” deal. Them not issuing temp tags at all is completely stupid.

Btw, how is the volvo insurance stuff going? Did they need to use gap to cover for cost or was the insurance paying enough to pay off the volvo loan?
