If you buy a vehicle (Car or Motorcycle) from a private party, the SELLER should remove the plate before transfer. The BUYER must go to the DMV and show the Bill of Sale/Title that has the purchase price. There is a charge for sales tax and a charge for the new license plate and Title transfer.
If you SELL a vehicle to a private party, fill out the transfer form and take it to the DMV to get the vehicle out of your name. If the buyer doesn’t do his/her part and you do not do your part, you may still be liable for anything that happens with your old vehicle. Tickets/ accidents or abandonment, towing and storage.
