Hi guys! We will be buying a used car from a friend kaso ung registration is expired for 3mos, he is out of the country kaya no one is using the car and he is willing to deduct the cost of registration.my question is how much kaya ung registration and penalty nung car for us to discuss. We really want the car kase I know the car inside and out,minsan nga since he is out of the country I'm the one who bought the car at TCI for periodic maintenance. The car is a 2010 Toyota Vios G MT.

my recommendation... buy from a seller who is in the country. things can go wrong, and it might be difficult to iron out if the seller is out of the country.
even if it is a good friend..
anyone can register that car so's it may be used, even without the owner's (written) permission... all that is needed is the car, last year's reg. papers, and the money.
from what i recall, late registration has a 50% penalty... look at the car's last years' official receipt and you will see the regular fees.
good luck.
