Insurance
To purchase a vehicle or to take test drive, we
require a valid vehicle insurance card. The insurance card must list the
name of the buyer and include the effective date, expiration date, and
date of purchase.
Title & Registration
Can I title & Register the Vehicle Outside of PA?
Several states and
financial institutions have new regulations and requirements making the
car-buying process more time-consuming. In certain circumstances, a dealership
must have the physical title on hand before a vehicle can be sold to an
out-of-state customer. Further, some
dealerships will hold the vehicle until documentation is received and
processed. We strongly advise out-of-state
buyers to send us their motor vehicle documents, including driver’s license,
registration, and insurance, ahead of time so we can verify you have the
required documents.
Can I Handle My Own Title & Registration?
It is the customer’s
responsibility to register the vehicle in their home state and pay the state
sales tax. Some states require an inspection before a vehicle can be
registered. All vehicles at Stuckey
Automotive are inspected in the State of Pennsylvania, per the Department of
Transportation’s guidelines. This does
not guarantee a vehicle will meet / pass the inspection requirements issued by
another state.
How Long to Receive My Registration?
Our dealership will
provide a temporary registration. Once
expired, the vehicle is no longer considered legal and cannot be driven until
the buyer secures a valid registration.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to register a vehicle in the state in
which they reside within sixty (60) days from the date of purchase.
It May Be a While Before I Return Home, What Then?
This should not be a
problem. Keep in mind some states
require a vehicle / emission inspection before a title can be process or a
vehicle can be registered.
Taxes & Fees
What Can I Expect as far as State Taxes?
It is the customer's responsibility to pay the sales tax required by the state in which they reside. The dealership can finance the tax into the deal, so long as a financial institution allows. Otherwise, taxes are paid when a vehicle is registered with department of motor vehicles.
What About Additional Fees?
When available, we will inform you of additional fees applicable to your state of residence. However, some states will not divulge the costs of local, city, county, or state fees, state sales tax, ad valorem tax, or use tax.
