you'll be transferring the reg and insurance from old to new vehicle.

Contact insurance company first once you get the new vehicle and get a new insurance card for the new vehicle. You'll need proof of insurance for transferring reg at DMV. Then contact DMV. Ask them what if any additional paper they require for transfer. I'm sure there is a form you'll need to complete and make an appointment to do the DMV transaction. I think that's it. Someone else may need to chime in if I missed anything. Did you keep your plates?

Yes I still have the plates. Just sold yesterday. I haven't canceled reg or cancelled insurance. Since I have over 2 years reg left on reg, I didn't think it made sense to cancel.

yeah, if you have over 2 years on the reg, I wouldn't have cancelled either. You could've cancelled and if I recall correctly DMV would issue a partial refund. They used to do that but it may be different today. 15 years ago I bought a used car. Had it about 2 months and someone hit and destroyed the thing totaling it. I canceled the reg on it and DMV issued me a partial refund.

Yeah that partial refund is a scam, I sent one in a year ago and never got it. Took months to get a reply but only for them to forward to some other department.
