Just for instance: If one wishes to purchase an RV located out of state, would it be possible to purchase contingent on the condition that it is delivered (1) not in the state where located, and (2) ...

OK, on the same topic, I'm trying to sell my RV to a couple from Massachusetts and they want to, after inspection, purchase, etc "borrow" my plates to drive home. I offered "transit" plates from my state, but they claim that that won't work in their state.
Here's the quote:
From agent: 'Buying a vehicle out of state and wondering if you can use temporary plates in Massachusetts? If you are a Massachusetts resident the answer is a definitive no. '
The Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents reports that the Registry of Motor Vehicles issued a formal statement regarding whether paper or temporary plates are permitted on vehicles purchased by Massachusetts residents from out-of-state dealers.
"Massachusetts does not issue temporary registration plates for its own residents but it does recognize temporary registration plates validly registered in other states to non-residents of Massachusetts who are temporarily operating in this state (assuming the plates are not expired or suspended.) Thus, a Connecticut resident operating a motor vehicle in Massachusetts on validly issued temporary Connecticut registration plates is OK, but a Massachusetts resident operating a newly purchased motor vehicle in Massachusetts with validly issued temporary Connecticut plates is not.
A Massachusetts resident who purchases a motor vehicle in another state must apply for and attach valid Massachusetts registration plates to the vehicle before he/she can drive the vehicle back to Massachusetts."
I'm at a lose as what to do. Do I have liability issues with my plates on a RV I sold? Is Mass that hard to work with? Any ideas?
