We're trading cars and moving
So I'm trading my 2004 pontiac grand prix for my relatives 2007 ford fusion. The problem is that I'm moving to Arizona (I currently live in Wisconsin) in February, but my Tags are due this week which costs $75 to renew. But since I'm trading my car with my relative for her car, I don't know what to do to save us time and money. What is the legal process? Should I switch license plates and tags? If I renew my tag in Wisconsin, does that mean I won't have to in Arizona? I'm trying to avoid having to register the new car I'm going to get twice while also not knowing what to do about my pontiac's renewal? I've tried to do some research on the DMV website, but there just isn't much there for the situation I'm in. Please, if anyone knows anything, I would greatly appreciate any help.
Well, any car that you wish to drive leaglly must be registered in the state that you are a resident of.
When you leave one state to move to another one, you can often get a pro rated refund on the porting of the tag duration that goes beyond the date that you register the vehicle in another state. You will have to pay, upfront, in both states, and then wait for the state you left to refund the portion of the registration fee that went unused.
Plus, most state *require* you to register the car in that state within a month of your taking up residence there. Failure to do that is a criminal offense.
- Trading in a vehicle? I was just wondering when you can trade a vehicle, I've geen told anytime. Also been told, after a year etc… So when can you trade one in? And if you have to stay with the same dealer like ford to Chevy
- Why are some Ford cars (like the Taurus and Focus) such unreliable cars? I'm looking at cars in the $3000 - $4500 range and I'm noticing a decent amount of Ford Taurus's and Focus's and out of all the cars that I see, these are two cars that just seem so unreliable. I test drove a Focus last year and it sounded like something was wrong with the engine.
- 1995 Ford Taurus with a steering issue. When I turn the steering wheel to a certain spot left or right it will start moving back and forth? According to previous owner the rack and pinion was previously replaced. Steering wheel Is off a little to the right. Any ideas?
- What would my 92 ford ranger be worth trading for? It's a 1993 ford ranger 5 speed, 4 cylinder, 2.3 liter with 390XXX miles on it but it still runs great. Any thoughts of what I could trade this for?
