Anyone ever do this before and know how it works as far as what I need to register a car I was given. More specifically do i need a bill of sale that says It was gifted to me or something that just states value as like 1$ or something. Thanks -Ian ---

Really depends on who it came from. Spouse, child, parent I think are the only onces allowed without tax. So if it wasn’t a gift from one of those you’re better off getting a low value bill of sale. NYS DMV site has info. Form 802 and 803 ---

i know there is a form to fill out when a car was a “gift”, but only family members qualify for this. otherwise the lowest value the DMV allows a vehicle to be purchased for is $10 ---

No mingle I still have the minivan. For the longest time i was driving it registered and insured by my parents, However I had and accident a few months back and the insurance company now knows I exist haha. Long story short they lopped me on the van and its SUPER fucking expensive, to the point where at age 20 my own insurance is cheaper, but I need the car in my name, hence whey I need to re-register it as a “gifted” car. ---

For fuck’s sake you people, don’t post when you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. There is no sales tax on vehicles purchased from immediate family members. If it’s not an immediate family member you are charged tax on fair market value even if you didn’t pay one red cent.
