I tried that, but because we were not shipping it
directly there they were required to register it in
Texas, at least that was their story..In Florida, many
of the dealers will do that, and then deliver it to
the port for you, but not in The Dalas market
I have previously purchased vehicles in New York and
registered them in Virgina, Bought them in Georgia nad
Registered in Maryland, Texas and Florida, and it all
worked that way, where I paid some form of tax in the
state I registered it..Some are sales tax, some "
Excise Tax" some Road Tax, whatever.
I may just need to drive it here for a year so that it
might be considered as a " Used Vehicle " When we try
to get it into Honduras.Now it has been sitting in a
garage.
Thanks for the info
