I recently found a car at a local dealer that I’m thinking about trading in my pick-up for, but what exactly is involed in doing so? Do I have to take the truck’s tags off myself and turn them back into DMV or will the dealer do this for me? BTW, my truck is paid off and I have the title in-hand.

    it is your responsability to remove the vehicle tags,,,then the dealer will want a transferr form filled out,,,and if you are happy with the results,,,,make sure you sign an “as is where is form” and complete the deal.

    The dealer takes care of transferring plates, both the paperwork and the physical transfer.

    Take the title with you when you go to trade.

    Play hard to get with the salesman over price. Don’t seem too anxious to trade. Keep your emotions in check, you are playing poker.

    If you can sell your truck private party you will get a lot more for it. Just a suggestion.
