I recently found a deal on a car in PA that might be too good to pass up. i was just wondering if the laws were any different when trying to transfer the title if the title is from another state. i know in PA you have to have a notary to transfer the title up there, but seeing as how im only buying it there, and bringing it here, would that apply?

 

anyone know?

 

you have to get the title stamped by a notary, other than that its fine

 

I bought my current car in PA. Yes, you have to have the title transfer done in the presence of a notary even if you're just going to bring the car down here immediately after.

 

ah. woudl this car be a grey boosted gsr hatch ?

 

not mine.

 

After reading this thread you guys got me paranoid, because my project car that I have been working on is from New Jersey and I never got the title notarized. So I went to DMV to try and register it and had no problems whatsoever. They may have changed the rule or something .

 

i think you only need notarized for the dmv here is a bill of sale if the vehicle is 5 years or newer and the price you paid on the bill of sale is over $1000 difference of what the car blue books for.

 

ahh, that would make more sense. i went to the dmv website today, and it didnt say anything about having to get it notarized, and only that if i didnt have a bill of sale, they would charge me tax based on the nada trade in value....(which is cool with me, because the car cost quite a bit more than that)

 

When I purchased my motorcycle, it came with a title from Arizona. All that had to be done was fill out the information on the back of the title, present a bill of sale, and provide proof of insurance, and I was good to go. Took 20 minutes from entering the building till I was exiting.
