Transferencias de vehículos entre concesionarios en Maryland

Explicación Simple

Si un concesionario de autos compra un vehículo, no necesita registrarlo de nuevo si solo lo mueve con su placa. Si lo vende a alguien que ya tiene placas, puede usar esas placas por 60 días.

Es como si un amigo te presta su bicicleta para que la uses, y no necesitas comprar una nueva, solo la usas con la misma llave que él tiene.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que María es dueña de un concesionario de autos. Ella compra un coche usado y lo mueve con su placa de concesionario. Luego, vende ese coche a Juan, quien tiene placas de otro auto. María le da un permiso a Juan para que use sus placas durante 60 días mientras gestiona la nueva inscripción del vehículo.
