Let me add something I learned with my purchased of an tagged vehicle. In almost all states you can buy either a temp tag or a DMV one way permit that is good for something like 15 days to take a vehicle from x to y. The point being it is identified in the DMV database, I got pulled my the state man in AZ and once he saw the permit on my windshield, he let me go. the other issue is buy the insurance even ahead of buying the vehicle to CYA.
