Yes! In CA when you purchase a used vehicle you have to transfer the title & registration into your name within 30 days of the purchase date after that penalties will start to accrue. To complete a CA title transfer you will need too:
1. CA title
2. Bill of Sale between seller & buyer (include sale date & price, year/make of vehicle or unit, vin# and odometer)
3. Passing smog cert. (applies to vehicles 4 or less model years old)
4. Pay Fees - a.) $15.00 Transfer Fee
b.) Taxes (will be based on the purchase of the vehicle/unit & the county where you live )
c.) Renewal Fees (only if vehicle is within 30 days of its expiration date or is already expired)

If you have a bill of sale there is a bond you can pay for in Georgia that allow you to register the car.
I would keep the plates and transfer to the other car. Either way you will pay more. One of the things that is not clear is that if you are giving up the first car for another car or if you will have two cars. If you are selling the first car don't pay for the new registration and have the new owner pay for it when they buy it. If you are keeping it you will have to pay for the registration and keep the plates because the new car will need both.
the person who buy the car will pay
There's tax too. You pay the sales tax for your state. then there's dealer fees, and registration. At my dealership in FL, we have 6 percent sales tax, 600 dollar dealer fees, and 100 dollar title transfer or 200 dollar new registration. 10k for a 7k car sounds about right.
No. the registration is something you have to do with the DMV. The Title is normally handed over and put in your name showing ownership of the vehicle. Having the title in hand does not mean you have registered the car. To do that you need to go to your local DMV and provied them with the title and some other documents. You will also need to plate the vehicle with your own plates and pay the registration and taxes on the car. It is legally required within 30 days of the new purchase to register your car.
You probably do it on the back of the title. Then, take the title to DMV and get a new registration. If depends on your circumstances. If you "give" a car away, in some states you have to pay a lot of taxes on it so people often sell a car for a dollar to a relative to avoid the taxes.
No. Whoever's name is on the title is going to be on the registration and insurance also. You can pay for the car and title it in somebody elses name, but at that point you've given them a free car, because you have no legal rights to the vehicle at all.
No it shouldn't be illegal. She should be listed on the policy.
There is a $10.00 gift tax but the receiver must also pay a $28.00 title fee and depending on if your gifting a truck or a car the registration fee will vary.
How to estimate how much tax I need to pay on a used car I purchased in WV to get my registration and license
Yes, you pay the taxes in the state you title the car in.
You will have to pay fines if your car gets impounded for no insurance, registration, and inspection in PA. You will have to registration before the car is released.
