Did you have to pay California sales tax?

 

i have no clue they were supposed to register it for me. i mean if its like a mandatory thing im sure i did

I believe sales tax is dependant on where you actually register the car.

I don't understand why the dealership is send you your plates, I thought that was on the DMV? Try calling the California DMV and see what they say.

 

The dealer doesn't give you your plates the DMV does. If your in Sin City you should just register the car there and they will help thru the paper work. Some states I think you might have to live there for a certain period before you can register your car.

Good luck!

 

hey Alli!

 

I had something similar happen to be, it took 8 months before I ever recieved anything. They had me go to the DMV, telling me that the plates must have been stolen.. and after a 3 hour wait at the DMV, I walk out with a new set of plates. Good luck

 

well the dealership got he random address and gave it to the dmv. the dmv sent the plates to the random address. so therefore i think the dealership should be at fault ... im so confused

 

Hi Kia !!! uhhhhhh !

 

The dealership is at fault...but have you tried contacting the California DMV?

I would just call them, explain the situation, and see if they can just send you out a new set.

 

Look at your lease agreement. It should spell out if you paid the CA registration. Looks for a $$ amount under sales tax/registration. if it shows that you paid the CA registration, you should also have a half slip of paper. Normally yellow. It will read that you gave the dealer a power of Attorney to register the car on your behalf. If you have that, then you can get started.

Go on the DMV webiste: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/

click on Vehicle Registration
then click Corrections, Duplicates, Replacement Certificates/Stickers
then click How To Obtain Duplicate or Substitute License Plates and Stickers

You'll need to complete soem other forms too.
if you need to go into the DMV, make sure you bring all your lease docs with you. BTW, looks liek the closest DMV to you is in Baker.

good luck.


oh yeah, if you didnt pay the CA license and reg fees, take your docs to your MV dept and ask them how to register it.

 

thats another thing. i flew down there to get my car signed the papers. after signing them the dealer who did the lease was missing .... we waited around another hour no sign of him. so one of the other dealers said he would have a copy of the lease sent to us. never got that either. its just rediculous the **** i am going through. what kind of dealership is this ? lol. i mean seriosuly i call and leave messages and NO call backfor 3 or more days ? as soon as i talkto the dmv il llet you all know. thanks for thr advice <3

 

you musthave some sort of documentation that you leased the car. The bank has copies of everything. Call the leasing company and ask them to provide you wiht a copy of thelease agreement.

Then once you have it, I suggest that you write to Nissan HQ, cc the Dept of Consumer Affairs. You can still follow the advise above once you get the docs from the bank/leasing co and sending the letter will alert Nissan.

Are you paying through Nissam Motor Acceptance? if so, PM me.
