In-Laws just gave us there 1996 Suburban, need to get the registration in our name. What amount will I have to pay taxes on? Bluebook value?? Or should we just say we purchased it for a certain amount? BTW bluebook is somewhere around $2800.00 for the private party value.

Did they do an act of donation?

If so, they can claim the vehicle is worth less than the $2800.00 blue book value.

We havent done anything yet? I have never delt with anything like this before. I know I would rather ask ya'll first than deal with the village idiots at the dmv. With the act of donation, there should be any taxes owed, correct?

Go to your local notary. Much easier.

You won't have to pay any sales tax, but you will have to pay the notary fee, vehicle registration, etc.

Minimal cost involved.

We did this (we actually paid the inlaws for the car) but did it as a "donation" ... I don't remember paying any taxes. Could be wrong but I truly don't think that we did.
