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.

Re: selling Civic in US
moved to northern Cal in 97.
Just had to get the vehicle tested for emission & then register the car for new plates. Didn't have problem with emission Not sure about the limit issue though bc i only had 1 car. I gather 1 car per licensed driver is alright. You need to check again when the time is near for moving b/c they may change regulations again by then. One thing to watch out for is when you have your car service at Honda. Make sure you tell them it's in KM not MILES. I had my car in for the 60Km service which would have costed 200-300 USD. The guy ended up giving me the 60,000 MILES service which bloated up the price to almost 1K b/c he ended up changing my timing belts , hoses and the whole works. Took a while to fight them on the charges and they finally relented, so I won't mention the dealer name here.
