You don't own the car. Your mother does.

You cannot register it.

There is nothing stopping him either from driving the car out of state though if it is validly registered and insured by a valid out of state resident.

I used to to deliver pizza in Amherst near UMass and none of the out of state college students used MA plates on the cars their parents lent them.In amherst you see tons of out of state plates.Never heard of it being a problem.

Insurance may not pay out if they discover the car is permanently parked in another state.

College kids usually get a pass with insurance since it’s temporary.

Cool. Now do yourself a huge favor and go to a local credit union and get the car refinanced here. I can almost guarantee you will get a better rate than any predatory in-house bullshit.

that’s a nice idea. do I just look up the closes one I can find or should i look into which ones offer the best rate first? do you have any experience with any good ones? thanks for helping out boss!

Always shop around, but don't be afraid to just walk in and ask to talk to someone.
