My S needed to get resident parking sticker when he moved to Boston after graduation so the transferring of title to him from us, getting car insurance set up (our company doesn’t write in MA) and getting apartment (he sublet for the summer as leases only run from Sept-Sept in Boston) was all done or in the works before he moved. Car registration and state inspection was done the first day he was in Boston to get parking sticker. And to pass inspection - he needed a new catalytic converter @$1500. That was paid for by the bank of Mom&Dad in addition to - first/last month rent on sublet, first/last month rent, plus security deposit and 1/2 of finders fee (his company paid $1k of it) on permanent apt. for a grand total of $9k. It was a very expensive first two weeks. He had a relocation package but it wasn’t nearly enough to cover all those expenses - so we just told him to put the money in his emergency savings account.

But he didn’t bother to get a MA license this fall - over a year after he moved there.
