DMV is working hard to get things done in 2013

+++

Dan Walters:

DMV shows how an agency should work

The Department of Motor Vehicles probably touches more Californians than any other state agency, and therefore has become the bureaucracy that everyone loves to hate.

At one time, that disdain might have been warranted. But under several past governors, and continuing under Jerry Brown, the DMV has become a model of consumer-friendly service and the intelligent use of technology that seems to escape other agencies.

If vehicle owners and drivers do their part – use the Internet for many direct DMV services and office appointments and show up on time, when face-to-face visits are needed, with the right documents – the agency does its part and everything is handled smoothly.

That’s a personal observation resulting from multiple vehicle ownerships (cars, boats and trailers) and therefore countless interactions with the DMV over several decades. But the Legislature’s budget analyst, Mac Taylor, reaches the same conclusion in a new report.

“Over the last 10 years,” the report says, “DMV has made efforts to improve customer service and increase efficiency, so that customers have additional options for renewing their vehicle registration.

In addition to access via home computers, the agency maintains self-service kiosks in its field offices, and has contracts with a number of private businesses for electronic transactions.

Taylor’s report reveals that while the number of vehicle registration transactions has remained more or less static in recent years, something less than 30 million per year, ever-fewer of them are done by mail or in-person visits and ever-more via the Internet and other alternative methods.

Brown’s 2012-13 budget builds on those steps by upgrading the DMV’s appointment system, expanding electronic driver’s license testing and, most intriguingly, reducing fees by $5 for those who renew their registrations without face-to-face DMV office visits, thus reducing those infamously long lines.

The proposed fee reduction is taking some heat from Taylor’s office and some legislators who worry about reducing revenue.

Taylor’s report estimates it would cost the state $100 million a year and “does not provide a good return.”

Rather than reducing fees for cooperative patrons, he says, the DMV should increase them by $7 for those who insist on doing their business in traditional face-to-face ways, and drop them by $2 for alternative users.

That’s not a bad idea; it’s just another way of doing the same thing without reducing overall revenue.

The main thing is that the DMV appears to be working on better, more efficient and more user-friendly ways of doing its business. That’s a rare bit of good news, given the truly horrendous way in which so many agencies – the prison system comes to mind – squander money on things that achieve no purpose.

vinaudit is the carfax alternative for car dealers

Where can I find the VIN for my vehicle?
You can find your VIN on the vehicle title, the vehicle registration, and the insurance policy. If these papers would not be available, the VIN can also be found inside the vehicle itself. It can be seen on the dashboard on the driver’s side and on the driver’s side door.

When will I receive my vehicle history report?
The vehicle history report is generated and delivered instantly after purchase.

How does my vehicle history report get delivered?
Your vehicle history report gets delivered over the Internet. You’ll be able to print it and save it as a PDF file for your records.

What type of information does a VinAudit provide?
VinAudit provides complete information on its vehicle history report. These include: vehicle specification, title data current and previous state, title issue data, most recent odometer reading (odometer history reading), brand assigned to the vehicle and date it was applied, salvage history, information from companies and auto recyclers and information from junk and salvage yards.

Where does VinAudit’s data come from?
VinAudit’s data comes from the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System. States, insurance carriers, and junk yards are required by law to report vehicle records to the NMVTIS. The NMVTIS has certified VinAudit.com to provide instant access to this data over the Internet.

What kind of vehicles does VinAudit support?
We support automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, motor homes and tractors. The vehicle needs to be built after 1981.

Why can’t I have a report from vehicles built before 1981?
From 1954 to 1981, the standards for VIN is not yet accepted. As a result, different manufacturers used different formats. In 1981 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standardized the format. The standardized VIN allows us to maintain and query vehicle data for vehicles since 1981.

How can I store or share my vehicle history report?
You can share VinAudit’s vehicle history report by downloading it as a PDF file. You can also print a copy of this PDF for your records.

How much does it cost?
As a high-volume NMVTIS provider, VinAudit can offer the best rates available:

  • $20 per month
  • $1 per report
Pay month-by-month, expect no other fees, and cancel at any time.

got the car dealer lingo ???

GLOSSARY OF CAR DEALER TERMS

Cap Cost: this is the sale price you negotiate for that new car you want to lease; unless there’s a waiting list a mile long, this is not the same as the MSRP.

Certified: means the car has been cleaned and checked out by the dealer. Remember: only factory certified cars have the backing of the manufacturer.

Credit Report: a detailed explanation of your borrowing and bill-paying history, not to be confused with your… (See Credit Score.)

Credit Score: a three-digit number that expresses your creditworthiness. This number gives lenders a good idea of how likely you are to pay your bills.

“Cup Holder Factor”: Is your chosen car a good physical fit for you? Does the seatbelt hit your shoulder, or are you chewing on it? Do the seats and steering wheel adjust for your height and weight? Is there enough headroom? Legroom? Are there any blind spots? Are the controls and accessories logically placed and easy to locate? And, the inevitable, will the cup holder accommodate your double decaf grande latte? All this factors in to a good deal.

Curb Appeal: means cleaning up your car to make it look ten times better than it ever did while you were driving it—to entice potential buyers.

Dealer: Someone who is licensed to sell you a car, and abides by all the appropriate auto industry rules and regulations, or so you hope.

Dealer Cost: is the dealer invoice minus a whole bunch of stuff like incentives, environmental packages, advertising fees, and more. This is what the dealer actually paid for the car.

Dealer Invoice (Invoice): The price the dealer wants you to believe he paid for the car, when chances are, he really paid much less. (See Dealer Cost.)

Depreciation: The reduced value of the car after you buy it, or that portion of the car you “use” over the course of a lease.

The “Desk”: the sales manager

Extended warranty: This is also referred to as a service contract. It is an option you may purchase on a new, and some used cars. The extended warranty should cover car repairs over a longer period than the manufacturer’s warranty, which comes with the car. But beware: it’s a high-profit item for a dealer—cheaper ones are available online.

Four-Square Easy Sheets: easy sheets designed to combine all elements of the deal- the purchase price, trade-in, monthly payments and down payment. Don’t do it! Keep all items separate!

Holdback: An amount the manufacturer pays the dealer for each car sold of a particular make. Also referred to as a “kickback.”

Idiot- What you are if you don’t use AutoIdiot’s “Don’t Be an Idiot!” car-buying system before you buy, sell, or lease a car!

“In the Box”: In the salesperson’s cubicle.

Incentives: Money or other special deals that entice you to buy a vehicle.

Invoice (Dealer’s Invoice): The price the dealer wants you to believe he paid for the car, when chances are, he really paid much less. (See Dealer Cost.)

Lay-down: a customer who takes any deal the salesperson offers.

Leasing: is when you pay a low monthly fee to drive a fully warrantied, brand new car every two years or so, but you don’t actually own the car.

Mileage Allowance- the amount of miles per year you’re allowed to drive on a lease. Better not go over: the fees can be quite painful.

Money Factor: used for leases, this is kind of the same thing as an interest rate on a loan, only much more complicated.

MSRP: Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price

Options: These are extras you can have added to a standard vehicle, and usually come in packages.

Rebate: money you get back after you buy the car.

Recall: If a car model has a defect, a manufacturer may issue a “recall” notice, meaning that the defect will be fixed at the manufacturer’s expense.

Repossession: If you don’t make your car loan payments, you may get a visit from the Repo-man: the finance company that gave you the loan has every right to come and take your T-Bird away.

Residual Value: The amount a leased car is predicted to be worth after your lease is up

Rollover: this is when the dealer takes the loan from your old car and magically rolls it over into the loan for your new car. Don’t do it! You’ll be paying off two cars on the same bill!

Rustproofing: Meant to hold off body erosion, rustproofing is an unnecessary extra that a lot of car dealers push.

Salvaged or Rebuilt Title: when a car has been previously totaled, the title is marked “salvaged”. Often, these cars are dolled up and their titles are “rebuilt”, or laundered back to normal. You do not want one of these cars!

Service contract: Also called an “extended warranty,” it supplements the manufacturer’s warranty, which comes with a vehicle you purchase. A service contract is a high-profit item for the dealer. Make sure it offers substantially more than the standard warranty.

Subvent: This is when the manufacturers need to unload a certain kind of car so they inflate or “subvent” the residual value to entice you to sign up for a lease.

Target Price: the fair and reasonable price for a vehicle.

Test Drive: That’s when you take the car out for a spin- and check everything from the engine to the tires to the “Cup Holder Factor” to make sure it’s the car for you.

Title Search or Title History: gives you the lowdown on a car’s potentially sordid past. Shows a vehicle’s ownership history by using its VIN. Always do a title search if you’re buying a used car.

Upside Down: means you owe more on your car than it’s actually worth.

VIN: Vehicle Identification Number, every car’s got one.

The 5 W’s: system for advertising your car: Window (of the car), Word-of-mouth, Work (or anywhere potential buyers congregate), Wall Street Journal (really just refers to any newspaper advertisement), World Wide Web.

The Walkaround: this is when you—that’s right– walk around the car and check it out.

Warranty: is a guarantee that certain mechanical problems and body parts will be fixed if they aren’t in proper working condition. The warranty is usually limited, so make sure you know what’s included- and especially what’s not. Check online for cheaper warranties—this is a big money-maker for a dealership.

wanna broker new cars ???

Autobroker s Endorsement

An autobroker’s endorsement requires payment of fees as required by subdivision (d) of Section 9262 of the California Vehicle Code.

A dealer may not engage in brokering a retail sales transaction without having an autobroker’s endorsement to their dealer’s license.

Upon issuance of an autobroker’s endorsement to a dealer’s license, the department shall furnish the dealer with an autobroker’s log.  The autobroker’s log remains the property of the department and may be taken at any time for inspection.

The autobroker’s log must contain the following information with respect to each retail sale brokered by that dealer:

  • Vehicle identification number of brokered vehicle
  • Date of brokering agreement
  • Selling dealer’s name, address, and dealer number
  • Name of consumer
  • Brokering dealer’s name, address, and dealer number (CVC Section 11735)

A dealer who brokers a motor vehicle sale shall deposit directly into a trust account any purchase money, including purchase deposits, it receives from a consumer or a consumer’s lender.

  • All trust accounts required by CVC Section 11737 shall be maintained at a branch of a bank, savings and loan association, or credit union regulated by the state or the government of the United States.

every dealer must provide a valid car dealer bond

Your Car Dealer Bond is Protection for the State

Car dealer bonds which are also also known as motor vehicle dealer bonds, DMV bonds and used car dealer bonds — protect consumers from fraud and other wrongful actions done by dealerships and their employees.

For example, harmed parties can make a claim on an auto dealer bond and gain financial reparation if a dealership

  • misrepresents its merchandise
  • uses unethical business practices to sell vehicles
  • fails to deliver a valid certificate of title
  • does not pay necessary motor vehicle fees
  • does not forward sales tax payments to the state
