What all do I need to do while buying a car from a relative?

Question

I'm buying a car from my uncle. He wants to keep his old license plates, so I need to get new ones. Also he lives in another state(MA), which means I have to get mine from my state (NJ). Also, this is my first car, so I need to get insurance.

What do I need to get first (and next)?

Answer 5

when you take the title to dmv to register the car you will need the signed pink slip from him. also there is a box that you can check that your uncle "gifted" the car to you (this will save on the transfer of title fee) when you register the car dmv will either give you the plates on the spot, or they will mail them to you. make sure you tell them that he is retaining his plates. you will probably need to show proof of insurance before they will let you register the car. you can get insurance over the phone or the internet as long as you have the VIN number.
