Searched the sub but found nothing recent. We’re moving from out of state. So many people in the moving groups talk about the exorbitant cost of new registration but FL’s DMV site looks like it’s $225/vehicle. Wanted to ask here if I’m missing a piece or are people just outraged over this cost?
according to flhsmv, new registration is $225 + plate $25 so around $250.
Dealer is asking $895 for dmv fee. Someone in other post suggested DIY, How would one go about that?
You can't drive the car to DMV without a temp plate.
some also said you can't buy the car without a plate to transfer to. dealer is required by law to register the car during a sale.
and It looks like you can't get a temporary plate if you don't have a bill of sale. not to mention dmv usually ask for 2-3 day in advance to schedule an appointment.
so it's the chicken and egg problem. how do I get a temporary 30 day plate before buying the car?
