Best Posts in Thread: Lto and new plates

For a new car order, you are talking about a business. You can name the car dealer(s) so the rest of us can avoid similar pain. My experience buying a new car at Toyota Sibulan was positive and absolutely no BS about missing documents and not driving for 3-6 months etc. They give you the docs and temp plates and all is well.

Can you name the new car/bike dealers who pulled this on your wife and your friend? Many of us will obviously avoid these places as there is a lot of competition on the marketplace. No reason at all to let them to take advantage of you just so they can profit from a sale of something we can’t drive. People who do this should not be allowed to be in Business but here the only way to stop them is to spread the word and do not patronize lest you get the short end of the stick.

There are many places around town that will produce temporary plates for you. They usually have a selection of plates hanging on the wall outside. Cost about P500 for a motorbike plate. When you received the OC/CR you should also have received a paper with a temporary registration number.

 

Aye aren't we all

 

I purchased a motorcycle from one dealer, a couple months later when they gave me a copy of the registration I went and had a plate made locally (they also wanted a copy so they knew they we putting a real license number on the plate.

When I purchased my current motorcycle from Du Ek Sam, they had my registration paperwork - and a plate made up - ready for me in less than a month.

 

Not looking for a big discussion, but I am 100% sure, all over this country do not include Cebu city, Manilla city, Iloilo city and parts of Midanano where you don't get away without a fine as a foreigner not wearing an helmet while driving a motorbike.

 

That happened to me. Bought a motorbike in Dipolog and wthin one year made a move to Dumaguete with only the temporary plate. Upon renewal after one year LTO in Dumaguete was unable to perform the renewal only after my registration details @LTO in Dipolog were released from the system there and transferred to Dumaguete. I was told that could only be done in person. Later I did hear that just a simple phone call from Dumaguete to Dipolog could also have done the trick. As always, it just depends on with whom you have contact and what his/her own rules to soilve it.
