question about MSO.......???

[cHEMIcal SRT-8]

just got my car a couple of days ago and man am i happy to finally drive a challenger. i love everything about it. i am not from the USA so i am going to be shipping this car back hom soon. only thing in the way is the title.

i am not familiar with this country's laws so i am gonna ask some questions that may sound stupid. when i got my car, the dealer told me that i need to wait for the MSO from chrysler which takes a couple of days after the car is sold. i cat get a title without this paper. keep in mind that i paid cash for this car and not finance or lease so i dont see why i cant get full ownership of the vehicle the same day i received the car. I was told that i need to wait but now i am told that this may take up to 2-3 weeks. has this happened to anyone? if so then how long did it take till you received the mso?

another question i have, is when i have the MSO, how long does it take to get a title. I lived i boston, MA from 99-02 and i never heard of a mso when i bought my trans am in 99 or my ford thunderbird in the beginning of '02. when i got my chevy ssr truck from indiana, i was never told about the MSO so now with the car that i have waited for the most, travelled to this country all those air miles just to get, and finally when i have it, something like this gets in the way.

i am lost here and bummed out cause i want to travel and see other states but i cant cause this dealership is just unreliable.

if anyone can help, i would really appreciate it. just knowing that may of you received their MSO quick would be enough to make me happy

here ya go, How to get Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MSO/MCO)?

it looks as though its a pretty common thing when you are exporting a vehicle. Otherwise you would just get the title.

i totally misunderstood what the MSO is. this makes a lot more sense to me. I got all my questions answered, thank you very much
the dealer made evrything sound so easy, i was even told that the car will leave the US before the 4th of july weekend. they knew all along that this would happen.

No prob. I wasnt sure what it was either, thats why i looked it up lol. Seems painless, but possibly time consuming.

exactly! time consuming is exactly the problem. and what's worse is that i drove this car for 3 days and i dont want to return it to or hand it over to the shipping company anymore
it kills knowing that i will wait for 2 months until i get it back hom to my country

i am from bahrain. but i am currently in st louis, MO
i have shipped a few cars to bahrain before from the states but i have never done all this on my own. last time i exported a car was from lingenfelter which in indiana but they are used to these things so they knew what they were doing and i had to wait for 3 months which was a pain but hey atleast the outcome was worth it

when that video was made, it had 447rwhp and 458 TQ with a 427 motor but now its got a 454 custom and making 609rwhp and 617 TQ completely N/A

here's a vid before the 454 project. the car is almost done, just getting a custom radiator from becool done cause its gonna need all the cooling it can get.

yes actually it was either i pay $3000 and wait 50 days for the car or pay $16,000 and i get the car by plane in three days
i chose the 50 days plan

[425hpChargerSRT8]

Wow, thats some good numbers for a truck. Very impressive. How much is the custom radiator going to cost? Id like to get one later on, after i mod the challenger heavily.

Id say the 50 day plan is a wise choice lol. Thats a huge difference in price lol. How does it get there? boat then truck, or does it go by train?
