Yes. You just transfer the plates when you register your new car. You should state where you live. If you are in Europe, then the plates stay with the vehicle.
I would like to know which states don't let you transfer plates. I've checked about 20 states so far, and all have a plate transfer option.
Here's one for the guy from Texas:
Can I transfer my license plate to another vehicle that I own, or one that I might buy in the future?
Plates can be transferred to another vehicle you own by obtaining a corrected vehicle registration form from your County Tax office.
Just goes to show you that you can not trust all the answers you get here.

I'm not sure if this is state specific, but in AZ it is your choice. When you register your new vehicle, you can choose to use your old license plate and if there is any money left on the tags they will credit this to the cost of the new registration. If you choose to get a new license plate, it is full fee. You must then remove your plate from the old car before transferring possession to the new owner, and go online to DMV and fill out a form indicating you have sold the car. You are supposed to mail the old plate into the DMV then but most people do not. The person that is buying the car can go online and print out a temporary 3-day plate to get the vehicle back to their place.

No, you get your new car registered with the state. (In Texas it's called the DMV or Department of Motor Vehicles, I'm not sure about other states.)
The license plate is registered with a specific car and owner. Any time someone new gets ownership of a car, the license plate should be changed.

It depends, some states do that, but others have to leave the plates on the car for the next owner. Call your local DMV. Good luck!

Yes it would be wise to. It will only cost you a minimal fee for transferring old plates to new car. Otherwise you will pay more for newer plates. Think moeney saved by transferring old to new car compare to buying new plates

If you sell your old car, you have to throw away the old license plate. The new owner will have to get brand new plates for your old car.
You need to get new plates for your new car.

It depends on the state. Everyplace I've lived, the plates go with the person, but in a few they are registered to and remain with the vehicle.

Yes. You need to go to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and apply for a transfer of license so they can update their system.
I've done this exact same thing and before I did it, I called the BMV and asked them.

NO! EVERY TIME A CAR CHANGES OWNER, IT CHANGES PLATES. AN OLD PLATE CANNOT BE USED ON A "JUST PURCHASED" CAR. UNLESS YOU LIKE JAIL FOOD!
