I’m worried I will have the same problem and my new car will be repossessed. I stated that I had “continuous registration” because I paid the late fees and had my registration back dated so there is no gap in the registration. Now I’m waiting to see hwat happens. I know a senator in Minnesota is working with the senator over the DOT to correct the same problem Minnesotans are having. There is a discrepancy between their state laws of registration and how the DOT is interpretting the legislation, it is the same problem I might have in California. It certainly seems taht the legislation intended that the law intended that registration would show ownership and the insurance would show drivability. If they try to take my car back I am going to fight it.

Have had a bad experience and doubt the program was intended to be so restrictive. I finally found a car that my 1994 Ford Exploer would allow me to purchase and qualify. We talked to the dealer 1 hr and 45 mins from our home in a major metropolitan area. We drove the Explorer to the dealer and test drove the car (2010 Escape). As we started our paperwork of course we had to submit our title, proof of insurance (has been in force as documented by the insurance company since 1999) and our registration. The salesman took the paperwork only to return saying he was sorry we did not qualify. Shocked after all the conversations and work prior to the drive he said we did not qualify becase there was a lapse in the registration. As it turned out the registration expired (like it does every year) on Dec. 31 (2008 in this case). Bad timing, lack of time or just forgetful we did not renew the registration until Jan 8 or 9, 2009. Ownership never changed, insurance never lapsed but because we were 8 or 9 days late getting the car registration up to date he said the federal goverment deemed us inelibible. I am furious with the federal government if in fact this is the intent of the guildelines and with Ford Motor Company or at least this particular dealership if it isn’t. Any clarification???
