Interesting. I've never seen temp plates in NY actually. I've had them switch plates from my trade in before. Wonder if dealers can keep a stock of plates on hand for sales here. Camp would know for sure.

No temp plates in NY, we transfer from car to car using a "MV53" or temporary registration. That gives us 45 days to get all p/w down to DMV to process your perminant registration. Also, we can issue plates right from the dealership just like DMV does.We agian use the temp reg then would mail the perm one to the customer.

Well...either way, I never discuss how I'm paying for a car when negotiation price. As soon as that 4 box sheet comes out, I tell them to put it away. I like to talk straight up numbers with them. After we agree on a price, then we work out trade and payment options. Good or bad? I don't know. It's just the way I feel comfortable during the buying process.

I didn't liek selling with a "4 square" and I would not buy a car at a dealer that used one.

My 4 square:

1. Decide on car
2. Discuss price
3. Discuss trade (if there is one)
4. Discuss finance/payment terms

2-4 are mutually exclusive transactions from each other.

Yes, Mass is a PITA when it comes to car sales. I would cringe when I had someone come down from Mass to buy a car, almost every transaction was a "loser" for me once I figured my time into the transaction.

Amen, that's the way to do it.
