It's done. Whew!
Armed with my documentation, I hit DMV as soon as they opened. After careful review of my paperwork, the only puzzlement was how to calculate sales tax. NY obviously wants their share. After a couple of phone calls, I got sent home to do some photocopying of receipts. All major components, they say...
So, I photocopied and I photocopied. I ended up with $2069 worth of "major" components that were not taxed at purchase. This stuff includes CL purchases like tires and trans and other purchases like seats and glass. I included lots of photocopies of stuff that shows that tax was paid too. Two copies of each, one for DMV and one for Sales Tax.
Hit the office for Visit #2 right after lunch break. Other than a glitch with the VIN on the ins card, I walked out with plates. He also advised that the title will likely take a while because of the document review and that this type of transaction requires a mandatory tax audit. I should expect a call from the (DMV) tax department. Bah!
