Hall Hummer, Va. Beach

[walc]

I previously posted how happy I was with my purchase of an H3, from Hall Hummer, in Virginia Beach, VA.
When I bought the H3, I was charged a $399 processing fee and Hall was aware that I wanted the vehicle ***led in MD, where I live, and my MD Combat Veteran tags transferred, from the BMW, I traded-in.
I was issued a 30 day VA temporary tag and told that that the documents to transfer my tag and ***le the H3, in MD, would be sent to me to take to MD MVA, where I would pay 5% MD sales tax and transfer fees. I have done this several times before, when I have purchased vehicles outside MD.
Recently, as the 30 day VA temporary tag is about to expire, I began telephoning and faxing Hall Hummer about the status of the paperwork needed to get MD tags transferred and a ***le.
After a week of ignoring me, I have now been told that Hall Hummer ***led the H3, with a non-negotiable VA ***le, subject to a security interest to SunTrust Bank, with whom Hall placed my loan to buy the H3. As a result, I can't ***le and tag the vehicle until SunTrust receives the VA paperwork and signs MD paperwork to allow me to ***le it in MD. Furthermore, because Hall ***led it in VA, MD considers my H3 as a used vehicle and I will have to have it MD inspected, at my expense, before I can tag and ***le it.
Hall's response has been tough-luck, all we had to do was record the security interest, in VA, so SunTrust would pay us the loan/purchase money
and that's all we are going to do for the $399 processing fee we charged you.
So, I now have an H3 with a VA temp tag that is about to expire, which will eventually be ***led as a used vehicle, in MD, after I pay for a MD inspection and get all the necessary documents, from SunTrust and VA DOT, to take to MD MVA. Of course, MD MVA will want to charge me an uninsured fee because the tags are still registered to my trade-in and the insurance was transferred to the H3, on 7/30/05, when I bought it.
