Of course I could buy it re-register and title in AZ. That's not a problem BUT eventually I'd need to title/register in Hawaii. That old shipping requirement would rear it's head. I'm not shipping any bike out of Hawaii. The cost is too prohibitive. More to ship out than ship in. AK and HI are in a different trade zone/s than the rest of the U.S.. I left him my phone number if he can find the shipping documents. 🙄 No such thing as posting a surety bond. If the shipping documents are available and the permit to use up the registration for the current plates has not been applied for the date of the shipping arrival would be the beginning date of the new registration. They get you coming and going. You could be paying for the one year the vehicle was in state but not permitted for the current registration to expire. I saw a Can Am Spyder up for sale his AZ registration expires the end of this month. No permit. Good luck on that one. First year registration could be double what it should be. $250+ based on weight.
