selling Civic in US
Need some help.. I am considering moving to Florida and wondered what I can
do with my 98 Civic. I am concerned about the following things: 1. speedo is listed in km/h (with miles below) and my understanding is that to license a car in the US, it must be the other way around. 2. Can I sell it there when I want to get rid of it or will the speedo issue require me to replace it with a US-spec one? I tried selling my Audi to someone in Texas and when the checked with the DMV, they told him that he would have to replace the speedo with a US one. I guess that I could sell it here and then buy a new car down there but I own this car outright and it only has 86K on it (1998) and is in excellent condition. Thoughts? Thanks, |

You might also find out if your vehicle meets the pollution requirements. I live in CA and vehicles from other states can't always be licensed in CA since CA's anti-pollution laws are really strict. Call the DMV in Florida to see if that is an issue related to your vehicle. Also, ask the service manager or parts manager at a Honda dealership if they can sell you a faceplate for your speedo. |

Would the DMV have a problem with that? Would the new owner have to convert the mileage from Km into miles when reporting it to the DMV? |

Re: selling Civic in US
Florida does NOT have ANY motor vehicle inspection. If any thing,you
might have to change the spedo face plate. On Mon, 22 Dec 2003 08:50:31 GMT, "Tera Baap" <Tera@Kiska.Baap.com> wrote: >"Bill B.
