Howdy folks. I'm new here. I'm starting the research to finally get a Cobra, thus fulfilling a lifelong dream. With that being said, in reading about registering a Cobra in NY, it's more than a little daunting! So some basic questions about my USED Cobra purchase:
- Is it easier if I buy a car that's already been registered in NY, does that make the process just like any other car? Or do I need to worry if the car was originally registered properly?
- If it's a NY registered car, MUST it have that yellow NY DMV sticker? And if it does, am I golden?
- Can a NY car be registered without that yellow decal?
- What year does the car get registered as? I've read conflicting info.
- What happens if the engine is from an old car (ie, 1960's block)? I read one post saying that determine's the car's year, but other posts said the car's year is the year it's first titled in NY.
- What's the story with emissions?
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: If I buy a car from out of state, what are the do's and don't's? Are there any states that make it easier to register the car into NY (like CT, CA?)?
Thanks in advance.

PS What's the best car? (LOL) (I get it, that's like asking what's the best
oil to use.)
