Reviving the old thread. When cadets bring the car for the remaining 2 years, do they have to transfer license to Colorado license? I presume so, otherwise eventually state inspection will expire. Any taxes cadets paid in Colorado on car registration, or yearly? VA has relatively heavy burden on car posession and requires yearly tax which is not insignificant, every year safety inspection and every 2 year emission inspection, so I presume Colorado is easier on ownership and it would be easier to transfer to Colorado license plate, but not sure what happens in this case with drivers license (can keep at original state or not), or insurance (can keep student on parents insurance or not since its another state).
vshun -- our DS got a car in Virginia in May, right after becoming C2C. He did 2 year license. The inspection lapsed as the car was in CO and that was okay, he just had to get it inspected as soon as he had it back in the state. When it came time to renew his registration he was not going to be back in VA before it expired so he called DMV and they had him email them the specifics of his situation and they waived the inspection & emissions and let him register it for one year. He kept all the email info so that when he got into the state if he was stopped for expired inspection he would be okay. Kept his VA driver's license until he got to FL for first duty station and became FL resident then.
