Good information from folks here. For Illinois, the vehicle has to get appraised. Afterwards, the State will issue the bond amount at 1 1/2 times appraisal (appraisal after I spent mega bucks and hours on the truck???). Then I submit that number to the Surety company and then pass all required documents to the State for approval. Geez, I had no clue about this hassle when I bought the junk truck.
