I would leave it registered in Cali if you can..... In GA we have to pay ad valorm tax every year. So wouldn't really affect me.

No. Why would you register it in NY? You said you'll be a student right? Therefore not a permanent resident. The only reason I would register it in NY would be if the insurance was cheaper, I doubt insurance would be cheaper in NY though.

if you're only coming for school, wouldn't you remain a cali resident?

either way, i wouldn't change anything.. seems like an unnecessary hassle

just keep the cali plates, registration, etc

unless there's some reason you can't

Are you driving it to NY? That would be cool.
Just keep renewing your CA registration and rive with a CA plate there...

I might be moving to Atlanta and I will keep my FL tags.

If you are only going to school here then no you won't have to pay NY taxes because you aren't a permanent resident. Where you go to school btw?? upstate or in the city. I'm like 10 minutes from Syracuse campus.Either way welcome to the snow and pot holes
