Just like when you trade in a car and you do not have to pay the taxes for the value you received for your trade in. if it’s not registered you cannot insure it so i would think for just a title you may be okay thats not correct. you have to pay taxes on trades private party. a trade in takes place at a dealer and is different. I know all this because i was going to trade the viper in the fall but taxes killed the deal. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/title-question/262145)._
