you will need to jump through some of the DMV’s hoops to get a conditional title.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf possible, ask the seller if they can obtain the title before selling it to you. If they bought the vehicle from an auction site they can easily request the proper documents. However, if they bought the vehicle from a private seller who does not have the tile or form 97, they will have to jump through the hoops to get a conditional title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing to consider when purchasing a military vehicle from a private seller is if it is stolen or not. If possible, get the VIN number from the seller and check with the DMV for the vehicle’s legal status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to go the less shady route to purchase a military vehicle, then auction sites like GovPlanet, Tradequip, and IronPlanet are the best route to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have found the vehicle you want to purchase, simply place a bid until you win! This may take a few tries before a vehicle sells within your price range, but do not give up if the first few auctions do not work out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After you win an auction you will be required to fill out paperwork similar to that of a background check. This is simply to prove you are not looking to use the vehicle for any illegal purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next step is to get the proper paperwork. Some auction sites may include the SF97 or bill of sale with the purchase, but others will charge you an additional fee for these documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although you may be tempted to save a few bucks by opting out of these documents, I highly advise against it. <\/strong>Without these documents, it will be extremely difficult to register your new vehicle. So get the documents and save yourself some time and money in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow that the vehicle is officially yours, you need to work with the military to transport the vehicle from the base and to you. This process may take a bit more time due to the policies the military must follow when selling vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once your plans for moving the vehicle are approved by the military, you can finally bring your vehicle home and get it ready to drive around Idaho. While this process is less questionable than buying from a private owner it can take much more time. It can take more than six months between the end of the auction and when you get possession of the vehicle in some cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
