GL and SF97s

[rumplecat]

I am going to call on my wrecker on Monday but does anyone know do I have to pay GL extra for the SF97 or do they issue them now with the truck as part of the $601 fee I already am paying to GL on the truck?

They get ya for another $60 bucks. Let me get the link here that talks about the deal. Post it in a couple minutes.

Here it is:

Click on "Transfer of Title to Vehicles", or scroll down to #66 in the list.

You might want to check with your state DMV though as you might be able to get a title without a SF-97. Some allow a bill of sale. I always get the GL rep to sign a copy of the invoice for me at the time of pickup too.

So even on a newly purchased vehicle you have to take ownership and then have it inspected in your state of residence and then apply for a SF97?

Some yes, some no... and in some states GL is required by law to give you a title reguardless of their snooty little fees.

Do they still require you to fill out the "request" form in FL?

i had to fill in the form and submit a fax to them with the police instection certifcate. and they charged my account the 60 bucks.it only took around 2 weeks to get it to me. i guess you can do the same with a trailer?

It all boils down to them just having another way to make cash. You figure $60 an SF97 by how many SF97s a month. That has to add up quick.

On my last one the M 1009 I had to have it inspected and then send that with to GL and they charged me $60 more on my credit card, all took about two weeks

To Joe in Eldred , Pa. , Will aSR97 be all they need in pa? to transfer to clear title in my name?

 

[westfolk]

pa.rich,
Yes. However take your "Paid in Full" invoice with you. The catch is some Notaries do not understand how to do the SF97. I had to help teach mine the first time. So the worst you will have to do is find a Notary that knows how to do the paperwork. Other than that, it's just like doing a title change for anything else. Question are you in Northeast, PA(Erie) or are you in northeast PA?(Scranton, Carbondale)
