Ive only bought from private owners before, but Monday I am hopefully purchasing a car from one of those small dealers "Prestige Auto Sales" and I was wondering if they register the car for you, or do you still have to go to the dmv and do all that bs... Also what is the registration fee, Florida sales tax of however much you payed?

 

they should do it for you, issue you a temp tag and registration to drive the car and you get your originals in the mail.

off topic: just curious.. what kinda car are you buying?

 

04 s2000 with 26k miles on it .. only downside is it has a c-west front bumper on it, but I will trade someobody for a stocker eventually...

 

Oh and is the dealer going to charge me for these things? I hope not

 

couple hundred for the new tag, but thats about it. and youll prolly go pick up the new tag from them, and not mail it, dont worry, youll prolly have to just pay when it comes in in a month or 2.

 

I have a spare tag laying around, would they be able to use that? I put a good deposit down without even thinking I might have to pay for registration lol...

 

uhm, if its still registered to the old car then yes you can transfer it for like 50 bucks and theyll take care of it for you, just bring the tag in.

 

Yea, the dealership should do everything for you. Thats usually why you pay a dealers fee of 300 or so. when i bought my car, i thought i still had to go to the dmv and i did just for them to tell me i wasted my time! the dealership will give you a temp reg. paper untill you renew it and should be able to transfer a tag over. g/l! i hate dealerships. takes forever!

 

it will be more than a couple hundren. its tax, tag and title.

I bought my maxima and they charged me like 1500 for it all. ( I bought it for 8500 plus TTT) but they did everything, register it. mailed me the tag and everything

 

well yeah he didnt ask about the tax though. the tag is only like 2 or 3 hundred for a new one, and like, 125 for a transfer. and im sure you got yours at a big dealership
