Hello!
I am currently living in Massachusetts but will be moving to New Hampshire for graduate school in two weeks. I recently bought a new car from a dealership in NH. Feeling rushed, I signed the financing papers and put down a $2,500 deposit. I thought I wouldn’t be able to buy it after becoming a student because I wouldn’t get the same 2.2% rate when I quit my job, especially as a foreigner with no U.S. co-signer and new residency.
The vehicle I purchased is still "in transit" and has not been delivered to the dealer, so I haven't taken possession of it yet. I am wondering if there is a way for me to register the car directly in NH instead of registering it twice (first in MA and then in NH). Paying a hefty sales tax in MA when I might already be in NH is heartbreaking. I can provide a letter from my university confirming my upcoming NH address, the only thing that worries me is the move-in date which is set in for July 28th (in two weeks). Is there anything I could do about it?
Thank you ahead of time for any advice/thoughts!
