Registering an ED in NJ
Well...am I getting a surprise. As of today, subject to change, it looks like I have 2 options:
Wow! Does seem to be a new kink in the ED armor!

P.S.
Armour for the Brits.
- Take a day, go to Trenton, and register it myself. Oh, how I love to leave my Twin Turbo Supra in a Trenton parking lot and have Trenton haute cuisine for lunch.
- Or wait 6 weeks for the dealer to complete it!

Do you still have the German tags and registration? It's been several years but I seem to recall using them for some time after delivery. On the other hand, once I had the Certificate of Origin, it only took a few minutes at the local Virginia DMV office. Is it done differently in NJ?

There are some excellent restaurants in the Chambersburg section of Trenton if you like Italian food so that part of the trip wouldnt need to be so bad. However I can understand the need to get in and out quickly !

About 15 years ago, I did another ED but in this case the car was delivered to the dealer in Falls Church who handled everything but I seem to remember driving on the European tags for a couple of weeks while waiting for the DMW to issue the metal tags.
Sorry my memory is not better.

This is apparently a new (last few weeks, NJ only) problem. Dealer will take paperwork, or so he says.
However, I need an additional original document from the shipper, where they only sent a copy.
PITA!
