Title issues

See if FL does bonded titles. You buy an insurance bond from your insurance company, which the price of the bond depends upon the value of the car, fill out the paperwork at the FL DMV and apply for the bonded title.

I had to do that here in NC to get a title for a Class C motorhomie that came from Canada. It worked well and wasn't that expensive. The NCDMV Inspector that came to do the VIN verification even helped me re-word the application to make it sail through easier.
