Bill Of Sale Wisconsin: Fill & Download for Free

An unconstitutional and totalitarian abomination. If you read her whole bill it pretty much makes civilian gun ownership a crime.As to a registry, why? What registry ever stopped a crime? Your car is registered, yes? If it’s on the public roads it is. Does the license plate stop the car from speeding? Does it stop car theft? Drunk driving? Kidnapping? What crime does a registry prevent?“Oh, but it solves crimes …”. Uh, yeah, IF you have the car in hand, it takes you back to the last guy who registered it. Plates are easily stolen, or just removed, for the period of the crime. Only if you have the VIN, and for that the car must be in hand, are you able to really track who at one time owned it.So you have a car, you sell it to “Joe”. You get a copy of the bill of sale you gave to “Joe”, along with the signed title. All good right? But Joe doesn’t reregister the car in his name immediately. Instead “Sam” steals the car first. Sam drives it bit, then lends it to his girlfriend. She lends it to her sister’s boyfriend’s third cousin. He robs a bank using the car as a getaway. A dye pack goes off inside the car, so the third cousin abandons the car. The cops find the car, see the dye, and perhaps a money wrapper from the bank. They figure this is the getaway car. They run the VIN.Now who do they come interrogate as to the bank robbery? You better have you a good alibi, and not have spilled anything red on you…. Who else do they come after. Did Joe give you his address? Or just his “name” for the bill of sale? Is Joe his real name? Who cares, Sam stole the car - who knows who he is, or where. But YOU, you are the registered owner… The bill of sale, anyone can cobble up one of those. Flimsy evidence of your innocence. Got a good lawyer, yet?What else does the registry do? Don’t you get a tax bill every year? How do they know you have the car and where you live? Ah yes, the registry.Think if your Cobra Mustang is deemed a climate hazard they won’t know where to send the tow trucks?“But, but, but it stops the bad guys and whackos from getting guns….”Really? Where do the bad guys get their guns today in the 6 states with a registry? It’s illegal to go across state lines to buy a handgun as a non-resident. Chicago blames Indiana for their woes, but Indiana doesn’t have the same woes Chicago does. You’d think if Indiana was the cause of Chicago’s problems, then Indiana would have it worse. Isn’t near the case. Wisconsin is close by too, but no one is blaming Wisconsin for Chicago’s failures.Criminals just don’t get their guns legally today. What makes anyone think they’ll get them legally once a registry is in place? “Oh gee, they wrote another law, I guess we’ll have to obey that one now.” What rubbish.99.5% of all background checks are approved today. 1/2 of 1% are declined, and only half of those are for being a felon. That means the criminals who go through the background checks are either seeing if they can get away with it (once, then they never bother again), or are genuinely surprised by the result. So what good is a background check if no criminal ever goes through one? Just what is the background check actually catching? It’s like putting out a net to catch fish, who see the net and just go around it.The 6 states which have a registry are seeing about 5% compliance when it comes to private sales (which is one of the things they want to catch in their net). 5%. if that. Canada had a long-gun registry some decades ago. Projected to cost millions, it cost Billions, solved precisely zero crimes, so was abandoned. Per a Canadian poster here on Quora, it had perhaps a 10% compliance rate.What is past is prologue. You want to know how well it’ll work, look to those who’ve already tried it. Registries in 1930s Germany worked out great for the Jews, didn't it? Venezuelans registered all their guns - then in 2012, just 4 years later, the government confiscated them.Registries are for 2 major purposes - taxation and eventual confiscation. Nothing more.

This beauty. It’s a 1973 Pontiac Ventura. I was 17, (in 1988) all I wanted was anything to not walk everywhere in Wisconsin winters. I traded a guitar for it, the guy I got it from said he got it from a dude for 2 cases of beer. The car purportedly ran and stopped, so I was all for it. Once I got it the 10–15 miles from the field it had been in, to the field it’s shown in the pictures, I discovered that it laid a smoke screen down behind it that killed all the mosquitoes, the car “dog walked” crookedly down the road (it drove diagonally because the rear axle wasn’t connected to the leaf springs properly) the floor consisted of stop signs and what appeared to be an old filing cabinet. Oh, and there was a pile of parts in the back seat and trunk. Once I got it to my buddy’s farm, the seller told me “Hey, man, the car’s stolen out of Iowa. You probably don’t want to try to register it.” I hadn’t thought to ask for a title, or bill of sale or anything… oops. My friend and I decided to cut the roof off it to make it a convertible, and in doing so we kinda set the interior on fire… oops! The car was SO rusty, it basically split in half as soon as we cut the roof, so it never moved after I parked it. I had already pulled about 700 beer cans out of it, a radiator, a set of wheels, a carburetor, a couple Playboys, and a battery. It had a bitchin’ Grant GT steering wheel, that I pulled off the column. A guy I knew who built hot rods asked for the subframe, and I let him take the motor and trans when he came over. I sold all the extra parts for about a hundred dollars, the subframe for the same, and the cans for a couple bucks. The rest of the car got fully cut up and stuffed into an old bus that got sold for scrap. I learned my lesson (ALWAYS ask for a title!) and never bought a potentially “hot” car. Oh, I learned that Sawzalls are really fun to cut stuff up with, too!

In the US, it is easy to buy a car out of state, and there are multiple ways you can do it. I did it myself several times (I am not a dealer) as I have always been fascinated by the breadth and depth of the US used car market (and ended up founding a car search engine Vast.com :) ). You can easily save 10–20% if you buy out-of-state nationwide.Buying from a neighboring state makes it even easier as you can go and pick it up yourself. You can buy one-way ticket by plane, train or bus, or you can do a one-way car rental, which is what I prefer. For instance, this year our old trusty 1999 Mercedes ML430 SUV got totaled (parked in front of our house). It had 185Kmiles but the engine ran as new. I found an 2002 ML500 in Bellingham, WA with only 58Kmiles for $9500. I rented a car in Portland, drove 280 miles up I-5 and dropped it off at the airport for $80 total.If you pick it up yourself, make sure you do all the checks in advance (Carfax) and ask the selling dealer if the title is clean. Make sure they have title in hand and you can ask them to send you a picture of the title too.Once there, they will show you bunch of paperwork, which is important, including bill of sale and odometer disclosure statement. Also make sure anything they promise verbally is written down in the bill of sale. Do not get intimidated by the legalese in the bill of sale, you can write down anything you want in your own hand writing in the bill of sale. As soon as they sign it, it becomes part of the contract.Take the endorsed title with you. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you keep the endorsed title with YOU at ALL TIMES, e.g. when stopped at gas stations, rest areas etc. NEVER leave an endorsed title in the car when you are not there as someone stealing your car with an endorsed title can transfer the title in their name easily.The selling dealer should be able to provide you with temporary tags for your trip. You can also get the tags yourself, if you prefer. For instance, in California, a car with temp tags must have a smog certificate too. If you have out-of-state temp tags that should not be the case, though you should double check this.With all this, drive away your car home, then go to the DMV with the endorsed title, smog certificate and bill of sale and they will transfer the title to you (usually in 4 weeks+).Another option, which I also tried, is to buy the car sight unseen from a reputable franchised dealer. I did this in 2009 for a 2007 Mercedes GL450 SUV which I bought for $38.5K from a Mercedes dealer in Wisconsin and had it shipped to Portland. The same car cost $10K more in Portland.This is trickier as you have to trust the dealer, however franchised Mercedes and other high-end dealers have very high standards of what they will put on their lot because of lawsuits. It is still tricky and you have to know what you are doing and what to do in case of problems. In my case, the car was perfect, I put 75Kmiles on it in 7 years and traded it in this year.Make all the checks you can in advance, prepare for the transactions as I outlined above and have fun driving you car back home!
