yes, but I haven't gotten the title yet
To register you will need to obtain a certified photocopy of the title, or written verification from the Florida motor vehicle title authority that you are the owner, and a letter from the lienholder authorizing you to register the car in New York. To receive a New York State title certificate after the lien is satisfied, you must mail the out-of-state title, the proof of lien satisfaction, and a letter of explanation to the Title Bureau.
can I register a car I bought that is badly wrecked?
If the seller indicated that the vehicle had been damaged to the extent that the cost of repairs would be in excess of 75 percent of the retail value of the vehicle at the time of loss, the vehicle cannot be registered. It must undergo a salvage vehicle examination by DMV.
