    her truck is brand new off the lot. She didn’t get it registered

    This is a blatant lie. No dealership is going to let you take a vehicle without registering it. They’re legally obligated to register the vehicle, and they do all of that for you when you purchase it. That’s part of what that document fee you pay goes towards. So I figure the rest of the rant is probably ignorant storytelling too.

      That and I was required to show proof of insurance before driving off the lot. Yeah I smell a heaping pile of BS.

      Brand new off the lot could easilly mean old as shit, paid in cash from a shady dealer, probably with a salvage title or similar.

        That would be “used, off the lot”, but I guess these people probably aren’t masters of accurate communication. Even those shady dealers aren’t likely to risk their vehicle sales licenses over something stupid like this which is totally routine for them.
