registering California Vehicle
I know I can't be the only one in this situation. My company has
transferred me to Vancouver temporarily, but this could last up to 3
years. According to BC law you have to register your vehicle in 30
days.
Well I'm in a very nasty catch 22. Has anybody experienced this and
lived to talk about it?
My lease company is on my title and is not a legal entity in British
Columbia. Plus when I called them they were like oh you have to
refinance, but even if I refinance the bank says I can't take the
vehicle to canada (which is contrary to what they told be before, but
whatever)
My insurance company has bascially said I'm covered only if I'm
visiting canada, and not more than 30 days. So basically I'll have no
coverage if I stay in canada for more than 30 days. I do have a legal
residence in the states as well.
Is there any way to buy private insurance to be atleast covered by BC
minimums? OR does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get out
of this? I thought about transferring my lease but I'd laugh if
anyone would loan me money. Legally I'm allowed to work in country for
6 months (unless I renew) so obviously I'm not staying. So getting a
new loan or lease will be difficult I would imagine. I can't sell the
vehicle in Canada and to sell it in the states wouldn't be worth it
because I'm still upside down on my lease.
Anybody got any thoughts on how to deal with this situation?
Frustrated and confused, but still loving BC,
