Unfortunately a car that getting sold in NY with a Tennessee title and plates will be treated as an out of state car when bought in NY. ALSO no NY emissions or safety inspections.... Tennessee actually, so no inspections if I recall right....
Also as soon as a 3rd person acts like they are selling it or pumping it on you behalf automatically sets of warnings in the heads of most car buyers.
Plausible deniability for any known issues, possible title issues, registration issues in a new state plus inspections issues.
Send the car to Tennessee...sell it there.
Just my 2¢ of hard advise that most people haven't said out loud.
You seem to want to get a premium selling it...sure NY is more $$ but with the flags you are looking at a discount or bargain hunter with the red flags IMHO.
The car is in both names mine and my son's are both on the title, that way we could keep it registered here and insured under our policy.
We (my son and I) are selling our car, there is no third party involved.
The car has a clean TN title and should be no problem registering it in whatever state you live in or choose to register it in.
I do not feel like we are not asking a premium for the car. Others suggested around $5,000 so that's where we priced it. I have not seen any other O2M 6-speed ALH Jetta TDIs listed to compare to and it seems a fair price to me with the few ALHs I've seen ranging from $3,000 with an automatic to $5,000+ with a 5-speed and $10,000+ for 5-speed wagons it seems like a more than fair price to me.
We paid for a NEW OLD STOCK O2M 6-speed transmission imported from Franz in Belgium along with a new clutch, flywheel, pressure plate and hydraulic master and slave cylinders, and the rest of the components in good used condition. Then we installed it in December of 2022 so less than 2 years on a new transmission with a running ALH and all the other upgrades seems like $5,000 is a bargain price to me...
Here's a short list:
Midwest Creations HID Projector conversion with glass lenses
EBC dimpled and slotted rotors front and rear
Koni Orange shocks and struts
New Michelin tires
Powder coated wheels
Kenwood Excellon head unit
New seat covers
If you aren't interested that's fine, but don't try to dissuade others that might be.
Thanks for looking and have a great afternoon!!!
