I knew someone who sold a car in Minnesota and the buyer never converted the plates, the state tried to go after the seller, when the buyer crashed. It’s a stupid system. Plates should stay with the person not the car.
Wow. I feel so ignorant. The state I live in, do stay with the person, not the car, in the event of a sale. Also, you have to provide proof of insurance to get or renew plates.
To do it any other way seems irresponsible and idiotic.
How many other states are like Minnesota ?
