Oklahoma just started having the seller keep the tag when a vehicle is
sold and when you buy one it gets a new tag. That may be the way we
get around it. My wife may be owning a lot of them or I may have to put
it in the farm name. I have to check how to do it. Guys had been going
to a title consultant who would file something with the state and it
still cost $300..
