[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought a car recently. It was super easy. Title was signed over. Plus, we put together a very simple bill-of-sale document. Brought both to the MVA. Did the inspection. Et voila. [/quote]

So order of events...

buyer hands check to seller, and seller signs over title.

Buyer brings signed title and bill of sale to the MVA (or a Tag and Title place? Do you need an appointment? Do you need the seller to come with you?)

MVA gives you the new registration and tags, you pay the tax there?

Then you can drive the car away from the MVA - when do you put the car on your insurance?[/quote]

- hand over money 
- get signed title and bill of sale 
- make an appointment at the MVA (there are offices that have limited services, such as registration (but no diver’s license))
- get car registered (I believe you pay taxes there)
- get the car inspected

I don’t remember when I called the insurance to add the car. We already had insurance for our other car. If in doubt, call your insurance sooner than later. [/quote]
