Hey im trading my 12v this weekend im from RI to a guy in NY. In rhode island you dont need a title for a car older than 10 years, and i dono where i put it. Does anyone know the laws for New York?

 

i live in ny, and i had a 94 saturn, and we had a title for it, so i think anything before 94 and you dont. u can go to http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/ to be sure

what u trading your car for?

 

mk2 getta

 

u mean jetta...

and this is what it said on nydmv

Model Year of the Vehicle. Enter the model year of your vehicle. Make sure that you enter all four digits.
Note: If the model year is older than 1973, you cannot use this transaction. The NYSDMV does not issue title certificates for vehicles that have a model year older than 1973.

 

getta is a jetta with gti front end

 

Dam this sucks i have no idea where it is.

 

Can you go to your DMV and have the title reissued to you? In NJ it is not a big deal to get a new title if you are the last registered owner of the vehicle. If not there is a whole drawn out process that involves that last registered owner filling out a document releasing the car to the new owner. Without a title in NJ the car cannot be driven on the road and is basically confined to track use or parts car. Not sure about NY but I believe that it is similar.

 

Im gonna try and do that I guess. The original title is from Mass tho and i registered in RI where would i go for the title?

 

the dmv, as long as its in your name you shouldnt have a problem

 

Yea well i talked to a friend he said that since its 12 years old they wont print a title but some type of paperwork that is equivilent lets hope it works out.
