Car Titles

When you buy a car from another state do you change titles from there to your state,are there extra costs?

if i buy a out of state car does it cost more for taxes, title and extra fees.

1. depending on your state some states require an out of state vehicle inspection then you get a title from your state if you buy 1 out of state dont register it there just get a temp plate or in transit plate there only a few dollars i think it was 10 bucks in ohio then i drove to illinois and registered it like normal
2. no it should not, you pay for registration and smog (emission) in some states and tax and your done
3. It could, it depends on the state you live in. If you live in a state that has a state tax of 5% and you purchased a car from a dealer in another state and their tax is 2%, you would owe 3% tax diffference. If you bought from a private owner, sales tax would be due at time of liscensing in your state. Odometer disclosure would also need to be completed.
