Hi all,

I am located in Australia but am picking up a 1986 911 Cabriolet from Hawaii this month.
Does anybody have some sort of a contract of sale that I could use for the transaction?
I did a carfax check and there are no issues on that and the owner holds the title and emailed me a scan.

Anybody who has any advise or tips on how to go about this please shoot away or email me a contract to: mjhornATgmx.net

Thanks and best regards from down under

I used a form that I found online when I sold/sent to the UK. There wasn't anything special about the form.
it looked like this, nothing special really. There would have been more I suppose if the buyer needed the title but over there he didn't, just proof that it wasn't salvage.
I copied and pasted so someone smarter than me can/could maybe give pointers to you.

On this date, , I, referred to as sellers,

Hi mate,

so if you have a copy of the title and not the actual thing that is enough to get it through customs?
Is there cost involved to put the title in my name before exporting the car or is this impossible for non americans without a green card?
Can I drive the car for the 10 day duration of my stay under the sellers insurance if he agrees to that and does he need to nominate me as a designated driver in case I have a bingle or the car gets stolen?

Thanks and best regards

Hey Martin,

You must receive the original title of ownership "pink slip" it must be in the State of Issuance of title on the State's water marked form. You can also contact the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to verify ownership. You can also inquire as to the proper transfer out of country and also check with your country's procedures.

If he can not provide a Pink Slip, run don't walk from the transaction.

my 2 cents

Hi Draco,

ok, will ask about the pink slip. Is that diffrent from the actual title? The one I saw is blue in colour and is issued by the City and County of Honolulu....

Thanks and best regards

Hi Martin, Draco is referring to (pink slip) the official bit of paper for a state in which the car is registered. In California for many years the title was pink in color, now it seems to be in a rainbow of colors.........like San Francisco.
For instance, my car has a registration that is required by law to be in the car. The title to that same car is kept at home or bank box and " that is the important piece". The owner must sign off on the title which releases their ownership. If you want to feel real comfortable make arrangements to do this at the Department of Motor Vehicles Hawaii or Automobile Club of America (AAA). Mike

I miss Midnight Oil but still have INXS

the only thing you need is what's required by your place of residence to register an import.

some countries don't give a **** about the title, or even have titles to begin with. It's the native exporter in the US that's gonna care about the title.

Hi J,

you are right. We don't have titles down here.
I was more concearned about getting it out of the USA. I have no clue as to what paperwork is vital to pass customs.
I am in contact with several shippers, but was hoping I could save some $$$ by packing the car with the people who did the PPI in Honolulu (thanks Gerard for offering to help).

Best regards

I exported a few cars from Miami to the Caribbean. Complete the back part of the title, get a bill of sale, complete the custom paperwork at the shipping agency and you are done. But that was 10 years ago. And Hawai maybe a little different.
