No. There is a limit of $12,000 annually for a single person to give away as gift. And if any tax is due on the gift, it is paid by person who makes the gift and not the recipient.
No, you can only give a car to a immediate family member and not pay taxes on the gift. A mother-in-law is not a legall family member.
you could give a small gift for the 12 year old like a itunes card or a teddy Or if it is a boy a racing car or toy soldiers
Car parts may be an nontraditional gift idea but for someone who is really into cars, it would be a perfect gift. Its always a good idea for gifts to be something the person would like but probably wouldn't buy for themselves.
You do if the value of what you give him in a single year exceeds your annual exclusion of $15,000 (in 2012). You could give him half of a $30,000 car this year and the other half next year and not owe any gift tax at all.
gift = no sales tax
