LUCKY

LUCKY is the word of the day. They were able to apparently get everything off that hard drive and reinstall the files onto a new computer and get the accounting software installed and working. All is good! WHEW!! Boy, I can breathe and sleep again, now. I didn't lose anything, though the only thing I was concerned about was the accounting program and it's 13 years of financial history!

So, when we took the paperwork that the dealer sent so we could register/license the new car, we knew it would be a bit different, in that we bought it out of state. I handed over all the paperwork the dealer sent me to do this at my local licensing place. It appeared they must do this, for people buying something out of state, pretty regularly as they she seemed to know what to do, but the first thing she asked was "do we have the title yet?" Dh and I were both kind of like ? we don't know? She looked up on her computer and said she wasn't seeing it. Then she said well it sometimes takes several weeks before we get it. So, we ended up with a temporary plate that cost me $10 and we were done and she handed me back everything. We drove home, both a bit confused. Dh was like how does the dealer know where to send the title? He thought there would be something called a MSO that is the factory title. I don't know? I guess they know to mail it to Montana somewhere and it ends up at our local office? The lady at our office said when they get the title we'll be notified to come back in to then get the license plates.

So, the lady from the dealership just called and left me a voicemail while I was on the phone w/IT guy. She said she forgot to send the MSO/title with the paperwork she sent over! She apologized and is sending it overnight. Ok, now we can take that back in and take care of it all and get our plates. Geez!
