I'm on the verge of taking over a lease (via swapalease.com). The car's from MA. I have a lot of questions that I can't find an easy answer for. VW Credit is the title owner.

1. Has anyone worked with VW in a similar scenario? Do they handle all the registration etc?

2. Do I have to pay sales tax, if so, on what value?

3. VW requires an inspection at their dealership prior to the transfer, done by SGS, which I've read is a good independent inspection service. Can I rely on that, or should i get it inspected post-transfer as well?

4. I'm trying to save on the transport, so I'm thinking of taking the bus up and driving the car back. It's 5.5 hrs, but Amtrak's only an hour faster and costs quadruple. Any advice on that?

5. Anything else I may need to know?

I once registered a car in NY that came from NJ. If I recall correctly, NY did take a sales tax fee besides the NY registration fee.

I suggest you check the NY DMV website for further replies to your questions.
