E63 dropped off, no temp tags WTF??
So I finally got my baby delivered yesterday by some mad Russian trucker and she is absolutely gorgeous. I mean, everything I had hoped for. First thing I noticed though, NO TEMP TAGS.
I quickly called the stealer I bought it from in CA (RAB Motors in San Rafael/Marin) who told me that they "couldn't give me anything that would be valid in NJ". Right away my BS meter started pinging off the charts but I figured I'd get her home, park her, and wake up bright and early today to go to the DMV to try and get this sorted out.
Now of course I do not yet have a title, as it hasn't been issued by MB Financial yet, and won't be for at least another week per my conversation with the nice lady there. I don't even know why I showed up at the DMV without a title, I guess just blind hope.
They basically told me what I had thought, that the dealer should have issued me a 20 day non-resident California temp tag until I could get the title Fedexed from MB Financial to my local DMV.
What is my recourse here? Am I basically shot for my 4th of July weekend? Can they have a local dealer print me a set of tags? I have never dealt with this out-of-state kind of crap before and to be honest, I don't think I want to again.

RAB Motors is a pretty well known dealer out here in Norcal, I'm surprised they have never done an out of state sale. It's not like they are some small time dealer. Good luck to you man. It must suck having a car like that sitting there and you can't even drive it.

They have, apparently their internet sales director didn't care to do some due diligence on the easiest sale of his life. I'm very disappointed in their service so far, they had plenty of time to figure this out.

Thanks for that, I left a message for Frank Sheets, the GM of RAB. Daniel Cooper from their Internet Sales division just basically told me to go pound sand.

ALl good. Always a good idea to keep the finance manager and used car sales manager in the loop as well. Basically, the GM will tell the finance manager to whip up some doc's, the GM will sign it then fax or scan then email to you.
