Registration woes

[bogart]

Here's the complete details: medyo mahaba lang..

I bought a 2nd hand car, 1993 Toyota Corona from an ads placed at Mla Bulletin 3 weeks ago. Without checking the OR/CR i proceeded to buy the car.

I went to the sellers house (within 3 kms from mine) for the transaction. The seller made an acknowledgement receipt coz he had an open deed of sale from the original owner (complete w/ xerox copies of the orig owner's id's )
and the 1st thing I noticed is the year model indicated at the cr was typed-over with "1993".

Said vehicle's cr is at Manila East District office.

Anyway, I brought the said vehicle for registration renewal last week (EP # 7) at LTO las pinas and the computer indicated that the vehicle's year model is 2000. But the first registration was February 1994.

LTO las pinas recommended that I go to Manila East to point the descripancy and correct the mistake as well.

Now comes the questions:
1. Is this an indication of a hot car?
2. Is this so much of a hassle?
3. Is it that easy to correct the data inputed at the LTO computer?
4. How much would I have to pay for this?

Lastly, where is Manila East if I'm coming from South Super Highway?

Thanks for your replies!

sir ano nang nangyari sa car mo?

OK na!!

2 days ago, I called up someone I know from TMG to verify if the vehicle is a "hot-car" or "carnap". Just gave him the owner's name, make & model and plate number. After 5 mins, he called back and confirmed that the car is clean and the descripancy in year model could have been due to clerical error. (not lapse in judgement)

Yesterday, I went to Manila East LTO (which is very difficult to find, see below for directions), I approached the guy in the records section and told the descripancy. After 10 mins, he got back to me with a printed copy of the data indicating the correct year model. Proceeded to the registration and after 45 mins, my car is now 2005 registered.

So to answer my own questions:

1. Is this an indication of a hot car?

Yes, anything not in order should be scrutinized.

2. Is this so much of a hassle?

Not much. Knowing the right person/agency to ask would help.

3. Is it that easy to correct the data inputed at the LTO computer?

Yes. Just approach the records section and point the mistake supported by the Orig CR and the vehicle itself.

4. How much would I have to pay for this?

Not much. P50 for the guy at the records section is enough. Afterall it's their job helping you. Anyway, I gave him P100.

Lastly, where is Manila East if I'm coming from South Super Highway?

This is hard to answer. The way I took was from SM Centerpoint going to Nagtahan/ Recto, that is Ramon Magsaysay Blvd, I turned right at Altura (7-11). Turn left at Buenos Aires, Right at Domingo Santiago. The LTO office is at your right infront of Iglesia ni Kristo.

HTH!
