how about registration fee's? (hasn't been registered for the last 2 years)

depends on where you live but unless it is rural you will probably have to get emissions done. make sure you get the title and a bill of sale. bos is available at the dmv but no specific form is required. registration depends on year and your address for taxes. there is a guide at the dmv and probably online as well.

Dealership is required to sell cars that will pass emission.
If you live in some town/small city at certain counties, you are exempt.

The dealership will charge mainly:
1. price of car
2. Dealer & Handling charge
3. Sales Tax (rate where u live).

If you are buying car with cash Finance department will charge:
1. Title fee (~$27)

you get a temp license plate usually good for 60days.

If you goto Department of Motors, they will charge registeration and owner fees etc.

Don't forget an additional $25.00 MIN for bridge & road TAX. it cost me as much to register a trailer as i paid for it last month. The state charges you tax & registeration fee based on book value not what you paid for it. you could score a "get this truck out of my garage and it's your's" deal and still get hammered for a few hundred

and ritter wonders why his job rating is in the shitter

this would be a private transaction.

is it up to the buyer or seller to have the smog check done?
