Don't worry, lol, this is not a heartwrenching post. It's just an "it is what it is" post.
GFGmom bought a used car for difficult child yesterday. It is fairly ratty on the outside but the interior is ok. She paid $1200. She is not paying for tags, title or insurance. difficult child earns at most fifty bucks a week working for us because business is scarce.
He is excited to have "his own car". SO he goes by the title/tag agency to see how much it will cost and ARG is told it will be approximately $450 plus, of course, he has to provide proof of insurance. He has about $100. Turns out the State is charging an extra $250 for a tag unless you have an old one to turn in that was registered in your name. Not.
Bottom line: husband has an old tag that eliminates the $250 charge. Our family insurance includes difficult child and he only costs us $70+ bucks on our policy. The annual premium will go up about $500 a year to add "husband's car"....that neither of us ever want to drive, lol. And, of course, the new owner paperwork and charges are mandated to be taken care of within a week or ten days.
Thanks, GFGmom! ooops, she "can't hear me" as she is gone on her third long weekend vacation within a month. DDD
