buying b out of state

If it is an ordered out vehicle before the trip down there you can contact your own DMV and with a faxed bill of sale they will issue you a temp. Usually cheaper than one you will get in another state. Some states also give you credit on the temp against your plates when you return. Cash sale they don't collect any tax or registration. If loan they will call your state DMV and you may have to pay some of that up front then they send it to your state. Each state is slightly different. Tittle? if you are trading you don't even need your traded vehicle tittle. Just sign away that you own it. They will apply for a dup tittle on the vehicle you trade. ain't that scary? Never bought an RV in my home state yet.

As others have noted, no problem. The dealer can issue temporary tags in its state, then you register it in yours. Some dealers do enough business in neighboring states that they'll handle all the details, but maybe not Florida for Massachusetts. Insurance just needs the VIN & location you're residing in. Probably best to verify with the dealer what they are going to do, just in case you have any concerns, but I bought in Pennsylvania and registered in Virginia with no problems.

If you have a smart phone, call your agent with the vin and you can have the insurance card emailed to you. Worst case, the agent can fax it to the dealer while you are doing the rest of the paperwork.

what about insurance? can that be done without official registration?

my agent usually just calls the dealer and gets whatever information is needed. I think I remember him saying that I am covered for 30 days whenever I buy a vehicle.

if its a dealer they should take care of everything, even the tag, private owner?? call or go to your local dmv office and get the facts. you could get fifty good answers on here ,but each state has there own rules . take notes and get the persons name you talked to. me I,d just drive it home have my sales papers with me.
