You might think different if you think you bought a new one and when you register your brand new $230,000+ coach it is 2 years old and you haven't even used it yet.
You did buy a new coach. The chassis has been sitting waiting for the house to be built. The date it is completed is the registered date of the vehicle and on the title. If the states listened to federal law then there would be less confusion. I see no conspiracy or hiding the facts here, it's a common practice.
You buy a 2021 and it's on a 2020 chassis the title says its a 2021 . You sell it it's a 2021. kapeesh?
This is the problem. Very few rigs are properly registered. The state DMVs will automatically go by the chassis VIN, so unless you are aware and are planned to fight it and get them to correct the model year, that 2021 is registered as a 2020. And you have to sell it as a 2020.
That's incorrect. The Title given to the buyer from the manufacturer has the year the unit was completed regardless of the chassis year. My 2009 itasca had a 2008 Chassis. I had in my possession the original title from Itasca.It said 2009. Now, California chooses to not educate their DMV what is federal law. All that is needed is a letter from
the manufacturer stating the law, which by the way is easy to get, and you present it to DMV. I did mine through AAA. There was no fighting involved. They changed it
without a problem.
California checks VIN numbers from out of state vehicles and are too ignorant to understand the partial build laws. IF it was purchased in Ca, no problem.
