Re: I'm confused... car registration??
tahts good... but it still sounds fishy... definately double check everything. You are supposed to go to the DMV to register the car and pay the taxes on it. Dealers will sometimes let you pay them the taxes, but you NEED the tax receipt to prove you have paid them.... as well as getting a 12 month tag.
There are now 60 day temp tags that are offered at the point of sale... but none of what you have said sound completely legit... i hope it all works out!

The car has since been sold again and no probs.

I haven't noticed, but I'm sure to now!!! Another random thing that is really bugging me at the moment is how everyone says 'or no' instead of 'or not'... Its funny how the little things can really get to you over time :-)

A lot of auction dealers handle the registration just as a full service dealer would do. I buy cars from auction (private dealers) and I usually get the car with a paper tag and a few days later they deliver me the new plates and registration card. Pretty standard procedure when buying from a private dealer.
In this case I think the guy just forgot to give her the card.

Well, back to the car thing, I guess when I take it to be inspected, if any of the paperwork is missing or seems strange they will pick it up then. The guy we bought it off did all the paperwork wit the DMV and jsut got us to sign things, and give him the amount of money due.

Edit: looking at the DMV's website the 4 yr fee could just be for new cars.

Re: I'm confused... car registration??
When you buy a car you have to pay for 4 yrs registration fees. The DMV then send you a window sticker and the small registration card. The date on the window sticker should be 4 yrs from the date the car was last registered. So if you purchased the car in December 07 the sticker should read 12 08. If you have this sticker you should have the registration card.

or, if it isn't a vanity plate, though normally they just give it to you when you register the car, depends on the state, but that's what they do in Maine and Mass.
