    I'm an Illinois resident and I just bought another lambo from Cats Exotics today and should take delivery of it next week. I don't have a loan on it, and it's the first car I bought from an out of state dealer without a lienholder. So how do I register the car in Illinois?

    Do I just bring the purchase order, insurance card and a checkbook to pay the taxes and fees to the DMV? Or do I need to bring anything else? Anyone know?

    Thanks :)

    You should have a signed title as well. The title is signed over to you, showing you bought the car from the title holder (owner of the car). Then you need a sales statement showing the selling price. That will be used for your taxes. When you go in to register/title the car in IL, they will take the old title, charge you taxes and registration fee and issue plates. You will receive a new title in a few weeks. Shouldn't be any problem in IL. Roy knows how this works so he will do it right.

    I also meant to say....congrats on the Lambo. What did you buy? Are we going to see it around Chicago or at some events?

    Thanks very much guys. The title part is the area I wasn't sure about. But after calling Cats, Kevin said it will be overnighted to them and then overnighted to me. So I should be all set with the title and the bill of sale!


    Thanks! It's a '05 Orange Gallardo. What kind of events? :)

    This is my 4th transaction with Cats Exotics and they have been great every time. I don't have anything bad to say about them.

    Thanks, I didn't know you could do it at the CE.

    That is great! I hope to see you and the car out driving around. Like SKNKWRX said, the Lamborghini club America is very active in the area and they usually have monthly driving opportunities. I haven't been able to make most of them as I travel. However, they let me tag along in my Ferrari ;) when possible.

    Tomorrow I'll get the title from Fedex and then go to the currency exchange (I hope they do plates on Veterans Day!) and get the plates so I drive it!!
