Q: How to registered a japanese car in Austin,Texas?
I imported an 1997 Honda civic hatchback SiR into Austin, I have the bill of landing and bill of when the car was purchased in Japan. I heard that If I have the title I can claim or do a bonded title. But since my car didn’t come with a title what can I do to get it registered?. Can I file a “lost title” for my car, I’d have the “bill of landing” and the bill of the car being purchased. Would those paperwork be enough? Any replies would be helpful!

A: You do not have a “lost title” situation. You can go to the County Tax office on Airport and get the paperwork for a title to register in Texas.

First-time Registration
If you are registering your vehicle for the first time in Texas, there are two things you need to do:

Get your vehicle officially inspected for safety at an approved station and receive a Vehicle Identification Certificate of Inspection. Approved stations and garages will have a sign posted stating that they are an official inspection station.
Go to your local County Tax Assessor-Collectors office with proof of ownership (i.e., the title) and insurance, and apply for your registration stickers. These stickers show the expiration month on the left and the expiration year on the right, along with a serial number. They cannot be transferred to any other vehicle and must stay with the car you registered.
These registration stickers are valid for one year. But to save yourself time and trouble, you can prepay for two or even three years. In this case, you will automatically be sent the new stickers each year.

10 points to who ever can give me names and locations

thanks so much

A: Yes, there are dealerships that will take a down payment of $500; however, you will have to pay an inflated monthly rate that may be too cost prohibitive in the long run.

Hit any dealership on the motor mile on south I-35, and see what used selections they have to offer.

Q: Can I get by with a 250cc Motorcycle in austin texas or should I get a car?
I am moving to Austin and selling my car. I am wondering if I should buy a new car when I get there or if I could get by with just a motorcycle preferably something small 250cc as it will be my first. My only concerns are that I hear it rains quite a bit and is very spread out connected by highways which are not ideal for low cc bikes

A: A 250 is small but will handle the highway speeds
.. .. ..
As for the rain get a good rain suit for motorcycles

What do you think touring riders use when they are on a 3 week trip across country

And fuel savings will pay for the bike in about a year
compared to a car

Boots can be any kind that don’t have stitching on the shoe top

Q: In Austin Texas, can you get around fairly easily without a car?
I’m moving to Austin from a very small town (i.e. we have no public transportation at all). I have never ridden a bus (besides a school bus), or used the subway or a taxi cab or anything like that. How difficult is it to get around Austin without a car? I’m not afraid of walking or riding a bike to get where I need to go….it’s just that when I move I probably won’t have access to a car like I do where I live now. Thanks for the help.

A: There is public transportation here that is pretty reliable and nice w/good A/C (cheap as well, but I think they are raising the fees sometime in the future) – but it is pretty limited. Make sure you live somewhere on an active bus line if you’re not going to have a car, because the buses definitely don’t go everywhere. It’s possible to live without a car, but it’s not desirable since the city is so spread out and nearly everyone who lives here does have a car.

Check out http://www.capmetro.org/ – they have all the routes listed with maps and a trip planner where you put in the starting and ending addresses and it will tell you what buses to take and when.

Q: do we need a rental car if we go to austin texas?
we’re also thinking about going to san antonio, or houston. in january. is it best to get a rental car or try out some public transportation?

also recommend good hotels ( moderately prices please ) to stay in?

A: I would suggest getting a rental car. You might be able to manage in Austin without one, IF you stayed downtown (I’d suggest the San Jose on South Congress Ave. or the Radisson on Town Lake – or of course if you’re made of money you could stay at the Driskill) and if you didn’t want to go anywhere that would take you outside of the downtown area. Now, Austin certainly has stuff to do downtown — there’s lots of music, restaurants, shopping etc. on South Congress, 6th Street etc. and you can enjoy the hike and bike trail around Town Lake, walk to Zilker Park etc. — and the University and other things like the Texas State History Museum are very nearby and accessible by a short bus ride — but you may well want to also go to some other places that you’d need a car to get to. You might want to go explore the Hill Country, or go to a restaurant that’s not downtown, or something.
With San Antonio, I guess you could stay down by the Riverwalk and visit the Alamo, the 17th-century Governor’s Palace, and some other interesting stuff without a car — but I think some of the cooler stuff in SA that’s not so touristy, you would need a car to get to. The outlying missions (like Mission San Jose) are peaceful and non-touristy, and you have to have a car to get there. The art museum in the old brewery (no, I don’t recall its name right now) is probably a little far from downtown to walk to. The King William district is pretty cool and I don’t think you can walk there from downtown. Actually I’ve heard that there’s a really nice bed and breakfast in the King William district. That would be much more peaceful and authentic than doing the really commercial stuff like the market.
My limited experience of Houston is as follows: I wouldn’t even try to deal with Houston without a car.

Q: Donated Or Donating Cars In Austin, Texas?
I had been reading about a place/company called ‘Good News Garage’(Org).People give them cars(tax breaks) that may have some minor issues.Good News fixes them up,then sells them for little, if not free, to people in need of a vehicle, in other words poor people. A admiral and kind business.No strings! I have a friend who has Fibromyalsia,is the mother of a handicapped son, who has Cerebral Palsy and is mentally retarded.They have had a hard life, and continue to have difficulties. She even sometimes goes dumster diving for food,and occasionally household items.This woman is desperate for a donated car, doesn’t have to cosmetically beautiful or brand shining new, but p-l-e-a-s-e let it be reliable.A good truck or old convertible,…it’s a bitch getting her son’s wheelchair in and out of vehicles. Know anyone willing to donate? It is a tax right off, so it’s a win-win situation. This is a honest and true story, she really needs help,…so if if know anything and can help, please let me know. I’m trying to pay it forward here, but I need help.

A: Unfortunately, it is not a tax write off unless your friend is registered as a non-profit organization. Sorry.

What your friend might want to do is talk to a non-profit (such as the one you mention or GoodWill) and see if they can provide her with a car for little or no money.

Q: How to go for a driving test @DPS with instruction permit (with friends car) in Texas?
Recently, I went to take a driving test at DPS, Austin TX with rented car (my friend rented). The state trooper rejected the car, ‘coz, I dont have liability insurance. I do have instruction permit, do not have any other valid license. The state trooper asked me rent with my instruction permit, but the rental agency is not willing to rent on my name. My query is, can I go for test with friend’s car?

A: Yeah, you can.
First of all, when i took my driving test, they never ask me anything about who owe the car (my dad’s car). So i don’t know why they’re concerning about a rented car. Anyway, it’s fine to use your friend’s car as long he/she give you the insurance on that day just in case if they need to do paperwork. Good luck with the test.

Q: Is the public transportation is reliable in Austin Texas?
I want to move over there but I don’t have a car….Is Austin one of those city where if you don’t have car you struggle?

A: I rode the city bus here in Austin for a couple years and honestly, it was frustrating. I don’t know if the route I had was bad or what, but the time it would pick up was very inconsistent. It was however, there to get where I needed to go. Austin is a mostly bike friendly place though. Try to find a place to live near where you work or go to school or whatever.

Q: Is there anyone selling cars or a car or suv for under 2500 in the austin texas area?
I’m a single mom of two struggling to looking for a good reliable transportation for me and my children to get around. Please help!

A: it is hard to find a car that is reliable for that price. I would recomend auction places not online, but IRL.

here is a list of things I have found.
