My experence getting a VIN number was very good. I live in Washington state and had real fear of this day before getting there. I tried to have the car looking as finished as I could, and I had my Summit shipping box full of receipts, almost $6000.00 worth. They were seperated into 4 groups, the doner car, raw materials, parts, and hardware.
Then. The DOL. I came back to Burien and went to the DOL agent. They said I had to go to the dept, of revenue to pay the taxes. Off to the dept, of revenue, they said I had to get a market value appraisel and they sugested Park Place LTD. So Off to Park Place in Bellevue (second time in Bellevue today). A frind of mine there introduced me to someone that could do an appraisel for $150.
I remembered reading that if you don't like what you hear at one DOL try another. Great advise. I went to the Bellevue DOL and the nice Lady took all my receipts, copyed them all and started adding them all up. After a while see told me she wouldn't be able to get it all done that day and asked me if I could come back the next day, not a problem. So the next day I went back, paid the taxes and walked out with nice shiny new license plates.
