It depends on the state laws for the state the transaction takes place in. There will be fees required at the DMV office.Registration and licensing. There may also be a requirement also in some States, requiring a smog certification, which will have to be conducted.

Be careful! As long as the car is titled to a private owner, NO you don't have to pay sales tax. But we made a huge mistake!
