No...it didn't come with the plates. Last time I purchased a car out of state, 7 years ago, we trucked the car down and got the plates here in FL at the local auto tag agency (also paid sales tax on the car at that time too). This dealership in Massachusetts (for whatever reason...probably to further show the car was mine and not there's anymore) wanted me to send a plate and registration to them to put on the car before it left Massachusetts...so, they sent me a FedEx pkg to send back to them...I went in and paid cash for the tag and the registration (and the sales tax on the car). Oh, and also, for $5 annually, you get a little sticker for the back window of the car (hybrids) that allows you to drive in the HOV lane by yourself.It came with the plates on it already?
