How Do You Drive Home A Used Car?

[White987S]

I have never bought a used car before from a private party. So after the PPI is done and you agree to a purchase price, how do you drive the car home (out of state) without a license plate and registration?

I will pay sales tax once I get the car home. Thanks.

I picked up a new X5 in SC. I had to get a temp plate from NC and have proof of insurance. The only thing I had to worry about was not having an inspection sticker.

Prolly varies by state.

Thanks, 70Sixter!

I still need more advice. Do I need to abide by the selling State or the State I reside in?

GA only requires insurance and the bill of sale for the first 30 days.

I don't think it matters where you get a temporary tag. They are typically good for 30 days anywhere. I've gotten them from both the seller's State and my home State.
