Moving here from Texas. Anyone how I can register my car to PA? I was also thinking about selling it once I got here but not sure if it would be cheaper to just sell it in Texas.

Philly has one of the nations best public transit systems* and provided your living and working situations allow, you can absolutely live here without a car. If you are living in center city, south Philly, or west Philly, I would venture to say your life will be happier without a car to worry about.

If you do being your car, I would highly suggest letting AAA handle it for you on arrival. The DMV won't do it, you have to use a third party notary or inspection ship, and AAA is the least sleazy and is great at helping you with the paperwork.

There are many situations where you will be required to prove that you paid sales tax on the vehicle, otherwise you will be required to pay tax on the KBB value. Bring your receipt from when you bought the car.
