It comes in gov planet's name, signed over to the purchaser with the purchaser's name already filled in.
This is correct unless you live in state of FL. Due to us being a dealer there it is supposed to come in the buyers name. Had some errors with that being done correctly but think I got them ironed out.

If GOV.PLANET is a dealer in Florida, then why is it taking sooooooooooo loooooooooooooooong to get my title.

It's actually a shorter process if you live outside of FL... It can come in ironplanets name and be signed over. In FL it has to be generated with your name on it which has to be handled out of the CA office.

Should I move out of state, get my title, then move back? Maybe that would be quicker?
The thing that really burns me is that it was G.Planets screw-up and I am charged normal fee, and put back in the system, like I had purchased the truck last auction. What happened to 10 to 14 business days, as told by your rep. I realize that things take time- especially paperwork-but how about a real time frame. Yet another company where no person is held accountable for a fowl up. If I want to hear a bunch of lies I'll listen to the debate! I was sent a over night fed-ex mailing label to get it to Cali. quicker, so I was under the impression it would be taken care of efficiently????? I wont post anymore on this, I'll just accept that its a poorly run outfit.

I would like to thank MR.JWADE for helping out with all the mess of paperwork. A quarterback cannot win the game alone, it takes a team. Looks like MR.WADE is the only one on our field!

Here in Wyoming, getting a title for any vehicle that is currently sf-97 or Out of State titles must get a VIN check by law enforcement. Costs $10 to have a sherriff come to your house.

Once a a vin check is done, titles are pretty easy.

Wow just got the bad news. I feel absolutely robbed and scammed. No more florida state titles issued(im in florida). Fl doesnt accept bill of sales or sf97 so I was bait and switched on a 7000lb paper weight

If it was an item that wasn't for on road use your pretty much in the same boat. I would think a notarized bill of sale if you sell it out of state would allow the buyer the get a off hwy title. Hopefully you don't lose your butt

Here's how this will play out -

Variant 1) Florida will go back to issuing titles.

Variant 2) GP will obtain dealer status in another state and issue OHV titles from there.

May take a while.....

Some states require title for transfer, even for off road only vehicles.

Many people (myself included) won't touch a vehicle without a title.

They are reassessing how they classify them. They will start issuing again they just have to figure out how they want to classify them. We were as blindsided as anyone on this. Apparently a guy decided he wasn't satisfied with an off road title and went into a regional office making a scene. It got escalated to the Regional Manger who basically said if you want to act like this technically your HMMWV doesn't meet off road classification either. At that point we were put in a standstill by the DMV in FL. We are actively pursuing other options.
