Q: is it mandatory to register my car to a new state or is it fine to just renew it to my former state?
I moved to Maryland from Illinois. I won’t be long in Maryland, probably under 1 year. Do I have to go to all that hassle of going to the MVA to change my registration/title/plates/license or is it fine to just renew it for another year to my former state (Illinois). It expires in 1 month, but I have time to renew it. It will be cheaper than to do the whole new registration/transfer process. Is it fine? I know insurance should be fine as I called before to ask if I need to change my policy to a new state, the insurance company only said as long as its insured, it’s fine. Didn’t say much about mandatory-ness. Insurance is insurance, doesn’t matter which state you live in, though the price can vary by state. Should I keep my Illinois car details and not transfer it to Maryland? Illinois insurance rates is cheaper, plus I don’t plan on staying in Maryland for the long haul.
A: Legally you must register it.

New to Maryland Titling and Registering Your Vehicle Information
As a new resident of Maryland you must register your vehicle within 60 days of moving to Maryland. If you delay beyond 60 days, you will not be eligible for a tax credit for any titling tax paid in another state, and you may be subject to a citation for an out of state registration.
Please Note: If an owner of a vehicle originally titled in Maryland obtains a title for the vehicle in another state in the same name, and returns to Maryland, it may be registered by surrendering the foreign title and securing a Duplicate Maryland Title. There is a fee for a duplicate title.
Titling Your Vehicle
You can apply for a Maryland title, and registration, in person at any of the MVA’s full service branch offices. You also can mail the documents to the MVA’s Out-of-State Title Unit, 6601 Ritchie Highway, Glen Burnie, MD 21062, or go to an MVA licensed tag and title service where they will assist you in applying.
Q: New Car Taxes, Title, etc… Need Help!!!?
I am purchasing a new car this week, and I need help. The car I am looking has an MSRP of $24,280, but an invoice of about $22100. I am wondering what I should expect to pay above invoice price, PLUS taxes, title, etc. Does anyone know where I can get a good, solid idea of what I should be paying “out-the-door” for this vehicle? A web site, personal experiences, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
By the way…I live in Cook county, Illinois.
A: You have already found the invoice price. This is good.
Forget about MSRP.
Take the invoice price and subtract any manufacture rebates.
Then subtract dealer hold back. This is usually a few hundred dollars. websites like edmunds.com can explain dealer holdback and give you a more exact figure.
Write all this information down and show your calculations and where you got the information. Show this to the dealer. They will immedialtly figure out that you know what you are doing. Offer them $300 profit on top of the figure you have calculated. Be willing to go to $500 if you have to, but not much more. You know what you are doing, so don’t let them scare you with some offer that is way over what you have calculated.
Tax title and licence is what it is and must be added in after the price is negoitated. Tax is the usually just calculated at the sales tax rate for your area. Title and license is usually a few hundred bucks.
edmunds.com has a lot of good information about car buying.
If you have found the exact car you want then search the inventory of other dealers in the area or some other town. This can usually be done on the dealers website. You can usually email them and get a quote for the exact same car. Print out the quote and be prepared to show that you have gotten quotes and they need to beat their competitiors price.

Q: i am going on a 19 hour car trip to illinois and have nothing to do?
i am a young teen and am going on an 19 hour car trip with my parents and older brother i an looking for car games or anything to do for about 6 or 7 hours i need lots of games! something fun and new plz help! i am open to all answers!
A: I know some games where you could play with your family in the car. You don’t need any boards or anything. They are called “Slug Bug” and there is another one that I don’t know the name of but it is when you guys go through the whole alphabet and whichever letter you guys are on, you and your family have to take turns thinking of things that start with that letter. Whoever cannot think of anything within 5 seconds is out. 
Q: What will happen if im in the car with more than 2 people while a new sixteen year old is drving?
In illinois, for the first six months when your sixteen you cant have more than one (non sibling) person in your car. what would happen to me if i was in the car (not driving) with more people than allowed and we get pulled over?
A: I myself dont live in the same area but our rule appears to be the same, anyways on the rare occasion that you will get pulled over just dont even mention it unless its brought up, but if they notice you will most likely get a warning your first time and your second you may lose your license for a year.
Q: Found myself with a lemon car (having had taken it to the dealer a few times and no fix),what should i do now?
I live in Illinois and just wanted to know what the laws are within this state. I am aware that in other states I have the right to given a new car or my money back. Any tips on what are my options in Illinois?? Thanks.
A: What did you get, whats wrong with it, and how long have you had it?
Q: if I have plates on my car but moved to a different state, do I have to get new plates?
I moved to Missouri, I have Illinois plates on a car that I never drive it stays parked in the driveway. I dont want Missouri plates on it because then I will have to pay their taxes on it
A: New Resident Titling & Registration Requirements
You have 30 days from the date of becoming a Missouri resident to title your vehicle
Q: im looking to buy a new car and have a few in mind…….?
so number one is gas mileage, i drive 20 miles everyday there and 20 back and my V8 isnt workin out like id hoped. im looking so far and have found a few, the nissan versa and the toyota yaris. my price range is $12,000-$16,000. im not looking just at midsize but i do want a 4-door sedan. maybe suv but the gas mileage probly wouldnt work. any suggestions or if you own a versa or yaris anything would help. im a 20 year old male, from illinois so the snow is a problem as well. thanks
A: Check out a Honda Element gas mileage is great for a SUV, might be a little high than your price range but it is an excellent car. gets around 22 highway. which isn’t bad for only 20 miles. i now drive 75 one way so I had to step up to get something closer to 30 I got a Dodge Caliber Check that one out too cause it is a great little car in your price range and comfortable.
Q: im buying a new car and need some help with my trade-in value..?
so i go to the dealer and am going to buy an 06 toyota matrix for 17,100. i have a 2001 lincoln ls with the v8 loaded, so they offer 5,700 trade in. my car is in perfect condition inside and out, the guy said my car had been in a side accident well i see nothing wrong. there is some paint on the back by the key opening to the trunk some bubbling in three diff spots and some cover up paint on the front bumper but other than that this car is perfect. the retail on kbb.com is 12,000. what is a legit price for me to comprosmise with these guys. i owe 6,500 on it. 5,000 i think is bullshit. thanks alot.
p.s. i live in illinois, the dealer says that more than likely my car will end up in florida for some mexican or black to buy, how bout that. im selling it bc of the high price of gas. i pay 290 a month with 20mpg i put 250 in a month. so i think it might be hard for me to sell it now. what do you think on this.
A: Retail book on KBB is so wildly different from WHOLESALE trade in that you can’t even begin to compare. Think about the dealer cost if he’s going to try and get 12K for an 01 Lincoln. He’s gotta git the car inspected, reconditioned, safety checked, smogged, put on at least a 30 day warranty, clean it, floor it, advertise, and try and make a profit. If someone comes in and sees an 01 Lincoln selling for 12K they’ll wanna pay 9K and the dealer will sell for 10K. Well, after buying it from you for 5700, and putting 3K into it to repair the damage and all the other stuff, they’ll own the car for 8700. Sell for 10K and make 1300 bucks. Not bad.
But if they buy your Lincoln for 12K they’ll own it for 15K and try and sell it for, what, 18K? Yeah right.
You’ll NEVER EVER EVER get RETAIL BOOK for your car when you trade it in. Either sell it on your own (which takes time, effort, patience and money) or trade it in but understand that the dealer is just trying to make a fair profit while giving you the best deal they can muster.
Seriously, does it benefit the dealership to have you leave and go elsewhere? Wouldn’t it be wise for them to make you a deal that you couldn’t say “no” to and was still economically profitable for them?
They’re working with you, not against.
But if you want 12K for your car you gotta go find a sucker off the street. The dealership won’t ever give you that.
Q: going to illinois and planning to rent a car?
can someone from the area please tell me how the driving scene is. im from a small state and ill be new to highways and lots of traffic and ill be mainly driving from great lakes to chicago and maybe the aurora area. what times should i watch out for, any advice to help me, im very nervous. ill be bringing a GPS as well. thanks for any help you can offer and advice.
A: No need to be nervous. Do you think the guy in front of you cares what you think when your following him?
Your right there are a lot of cars but most of the time we can hardly go the speed limit.
Your already use to going 65 on the 2 lane state highways so even if the volume of traffic is heavy & moving, the speed should be no problem as it’s only 55.
The Great Lakes area will not have a lot of traffic & Aurora will be about the same.
Traffic is heaviest at the morning rush 6 A.M. to around 8 A.M. & again from about 4 P.M. to 6.
You have GPS so what’s the worst that can happen? You get off at the next exit. turn & get back on the highway.
Just don’t stop & ask for directions if you think the area doesn’t look good. Get right back on the highway.
You’ll be fine.
Q: Car loan with bad credit in Illinois?
I am currently buying my car thru the bank. My grandma co-signed for me, but I am wanting to get a new car and I don’t think she would co-sign again. I have crappy credit, and only make about $1,050 a month. I have been at my job for 4 years. My car is a 2000 Cavalier with 116,600 miles on it. It is in good shape except a little rust and could use some touch up’s on paint n a few places. The radiatop also needs something done (I had to use stop leek once). Any suggestions?
A: Try Gateway Chevrolet.
My old neighbor bought a car from them 6 months after he filed bankruptcy.
If you live in the Chicago area, watch channel 62 in the evenings. They always have car dealer commercials for credit challenged people.
Q: Do I need a new car? I have a 2005 Altima now, but with 3 kids and one a baby on the way is it large enough?
I’m just thinking since we drive from Wyoming to Illinois frequently that with a car seat, the kids won’t be comfortable. My 14 yo usually sits up front so my 12yo can stretch out in the back and they switch up when needed but a car seat will make this impossible.
Should I trade up to a minivan?
Oops…2 kids and one on the way!
My older kids’ dad is dead and the new baby’s sperm donor is MIA. Though if I didn’t mention a father, you shouldn’t either. It’s rude.
The keep the seatbelts on, just sorta turn sideways and stretch out their legs.
A: naaaa, just stick with what you have
Q: new car audio installation?
what can i do to professionally install my new audio system? are there any books out there? what about classes in illinois?
A: Professionalism comes with experience not books or classes. I have learned 50 times more through experience than I did with 4 years of college. My professors should have been paying me for teaching them stuff they didn’t know because it wasn’t in their books.
To get it done professionally, take it to a professional. To learn how to do it yourself, read the instructions that come with every piece of equipment on the market. There’s way to much to learn to tell you in here. For books or classes go to www.google.com and search for “car audio books” or “automotive electronics courses in Illinois”.
Q: From IL buying a car out of state (NY), how do I get temporary plates?
I’m from Illinois and I plan on buying a car from a person in New York. I plan on driving the car back to Illinois, but am not sure how temporary plates/stickers work. How can I get some temporary plates? Do I get them in Illinois beforehand or in New York?
A: You can’t get temp tags in NY, unless you have a NY auto policy. Plus, they’re no good outside of NY.
What you need to do, is handle all the money part of this first – have the title shipped to you, take the title to the IL DMV, and get REAL IL tags for the car, bring them with you when you go to pick up the car, and attach them.
Q: Registering a Car in Illinois?
I am moving to Illinois this August and want to register a car there that I purchased in Virginia in May. I will be having my car shipped from Virginia to Illinois and I would like to know what I need to bring to the DMV to have my car registered. I purchased the car from a private party and I already have the title transfered to my name. I will be a new resident of Chicago and I would like to know which documents I need to bring to the DMV to have my car registered there.
Are Illinois DMV difficult to deal with? I am worried because I purchased the car in Virginia in May and in the web site it says the car needs to be registered 30 days after the purchase. Will I have to pay any fees for that?
Thanks
A: The only place where you can get accurate information (well, maybe :-] ), is from the Illinois DMV themselves. Call them or look on their web page.
You should never rely on answers you get on YA about legal issues.
