If I buy a car here, it cost me: $75 title transfer $36 registration 7% sales tax
There is a $225 "administrative fee" for any vehicle being brought into Florida from out of state. However, if you have a retired registration (a registration that's no longer in use but wasn't surrendered when the car was sold) it can be applied to the out of state vehicle, negating the $225 fee. This is a very, very obscure end run around the statute, but perfectly legal. A very nice and accommodating DMV employee turned me on to this loophole some years back. My long gone 1982 300SD serves this purpose, as it's still in the system from over 15 years ago. Based on the out of state cars I've bought where this has allowed me to avoid the fee, I figure the 300SD has a current value of a couple thousand dollars at this point.
