The other problem is, the car needs to be picked up by the end of the day tomorrow because they're leaving again for canada at the end of the day. Which means I can't call the local junk yard (which pays more than the scrap yard), and ask them if a Canadian title is good enough.



Well the car is already in the US, right down the road from us. So it's not an import/export issue at the moment.

I understand that, but I can see someone giving you problems because you're buying a Canada vehicle and no paperwork to show it was properly exported into the U.S., (if it's even required in a situation as this). Just my thinking. Doesn't mean it's correct.

I am sure if I was in that situation I would have all kinds of problems and hoops to jump through. Here, I am required to have a vehicle titled in my name. So that means I buy a car, pick it up. Haul it home, go to the DMV, transfer ownership. Remove whatever I plan to keep, while waiting on new title (about 10 days), then haul the car in. Btw if it's an out of state vehicle, I have to take it to the DMV for inspection, so that's a treat when cars are dead and I have to trailer it to their tiny parking lot.

Seriously cuts into my cash flow and turnaround time. Idaho law sucks in this regard.



Does the seller have the title on him/her? I don't know of any one who ever has the title on them while traveling.
