what a pain in the ass!
I bought a boat and trailer but the seller had no registration for the trailer but he did for the boat (he bought it off another guy just for the boat motor) so I got the boat in my name. the trailer has no VIN and I've been instructed to register it as a home made trailer so I tried that, but I made the mistake of telling them I bought it so they wanted the registration and bill of sale. if I'd said I just made it this could have all been avoided. so I got the bill of sale and put the year as 07 (she said whatever year it was made) and now I plan to retry because it sounded like I can probably get by with no registration in hindsight I should have put the year as 2015 and just told her he said it's never been used on the road and registered, but with it now saying 2007 I don't want to get stuck paying a backlog of 9 years if they try to push that the DMV sucks! |

Their rules encourage you to lie to their faces and they have no way of knowing, it's ludicrous.
I bought a rolling chassis motorcycle and made the mistake of (in conversation) telling them I put (not replaced) a motor/trans in it.... So instead of an '07 American Ironhorse, I have a 2015 Custom/Built bike.... Yeah, like my insurance didn't just double, thanks.

The same rules also allow for any stolen trailer to be registered as home-made with Zero LEO inspection which I think is absolute bs, considering I had a Falcon 18' dovetail tandem axle trailer stolen from me a few years ago and the responding officer said 'highly unlikely you'll ever see it again' when I pressed him for recovery statistics. He said it'll just be sold out of state or taken a few counties away and registered as home-made.

Exactly what I was thinking....... |
| Same, they wouldn't let me register my car when I moved here, because the co-signer on the title wasn't with me. Because he lives in another state, and never visits when they are open (bankers hours). So they lost 7 years of revenue. No skin off my back, I put forth a reasonable effort. |
