Title and Registration for WRX if tearing down

[mrbiglar]

Picked up my WRX donor last week. Received the title (fully working vehicle, but plan is to do full tear down and sell parts I don't use. My question is do I need to register the vehicle, am assuming no, since I am essentially salvaging?

Thanks in advance for help

Welcome to the USA.
When you buy any thing, you have to pay sales tax. I guess they should call it buyers tax.
That will happen when you title the wrx in your name.

When you go to title the 818, You will have to show proof of ownership of the donor wrx. The Title.
At that point you will have to pay tax on the FFR price plus other parts that were bought without paying tax.
Since the donor is already yours, you don't pay tax on the donor twice.

That is my story here in Ohio,
It may be different for you.
