THE IMPORTANCE OF EPA AND DOT DOCUMENTATION WHEN BUYING A PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED CAR BECOMES A STATE REQUIREMENT.I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 89 GT5S THAT HAD NEVER BEEN REGISTERED. THIIS REQUIRED THE ORIGINAL MSO PLUS EPA AND DOT CERTIFICATION HERE IN FLORIDA.IF THE CAR HAD BEEN REGISTERED PRIOR IN ANOTHER STATE, NOTHING BUT THE TITLE WOULD HAVE BEEN NECESSARY. EACH STATE HAS DIFFERENT RULES.
Dear AK: Could you please give me a call regarding this car? I am interested in your rust observations. I have talked with another guy who felt it might be a good car overall.

Car does look nice w/o the wing.

I drove past the location of Prestige yesterday and it is now a Hyundai dealership. I had checked out this car about a year ago and was told buy the dealership that this car did not have any DOT records. I will also say that the dealer had been driving this car for a while and I noticed a few oil leaks from the engine.
The owner of this car had the DOT and EPA documentation however, for some time he did not provide copies of it to the dealer. I got copies of both myself from Washington. The dealer finaly had them in his possesion and the car sold a reasonably short time there after.

Would be interesting to see how he got around DOT & EPA, as they couldn't provide it to me when I was considering buying.
