I have the same concerned , just got my new MC last Jan 9 hindi ko madala sa work kasi nga sabi nagn dealer hindi raw pwdeng dalhin I asked them kelan sabi nila 3-4 months .. I was thinking my point of having an MC is para maka save sa time at pamasahe ngayon dalawa na ang gastos ko pamasahe at monthy amortization sa motor kakainis talaga .
Similar to Del, above.
I took delivery of my new motorcycle (total price paid PHP 342,000 cash) on January 11. I have visited the dealer, I have texted the dealer but, to date, have not been provided with any proof of insurance or registration. Earlier this week, I was told that the registration couldn’t be processed because LTO had exhausted stock of some form. In a telephone conversation today, I was told that I will be provided with some sort of permit from the PNP.
What can I do to enable me to make legal use of my (fairly large) investment? I cannot dispose of my old bike because there are certain areas (eg Municipal Hall) which are enforcing the ‘No plate, no travel’ policy.
This entire topic has the makings of a farce!
Well, after applying much pressure to the dealer. I have, today – exactly one month from purchase, received a copy of my CR & OR. Documents are unsigned, since the LTO boss man has been out of the office for the last two days – however, I am promised that they will be signed on Monday. The plate number is not yet assigned, but I do, at least, have the MV File No which can be used on a temporary plate. There should also be an “Authorization to use temporary number” document available on Monday.
Apparently, the delay has been caused by the lack of CSR, which only became available at the beginning of this week – I don’t know who is responsible for producing that document.
I now have the originals of CR and OR (overstamped with authorization to use improvised number) so I think that I am now legally entitled to use my new bike. I guess that, having achieved this in exactly five weeks from original purchase date, I am fairly fortunate.
This is very helpful article. Thank you for sharing.
tanong lang po,, yong kotse ko wala pang or cr kc hindi pa na release na LTO pero on process na po,pwede po ba ako mag road test sa ibang lugar since two pa po yong kotse at the date of purchase?
What recourse do we have if the registration of a newly purchased car is delayed? I purchased the car that was released to me last April 11. The dealer only submitted the documents to LTO on April 25. To this date, May 9, the LTO has not yer released the registration.
There is a poster at the dealership announcing that registration only takes 7 days. Who should be liable for the delay?
