Hey Robert! I bought my car in Hoffman Estates and drove it home to Phoenix. I got the three day temporary permit from Arizona and I had a notarized bill of sale.
BTW - I grew up in Niles! I got married and moved to Morton Grove, and lived there until I moved to Phoenix 15 years ago. When I lived in Niles I lived in the Dempster & Harlem area and moved to the Golf & Harlem area. The best advise is to check with the Secretary of State and ask them what to do. Good luck!:cheers: |

I think that you have to register it in the state you purchased it. Then pay the sales tax and register it in your own state.

we are making this too hard. Go to the DMV in the state that you buy the car. Pay taxes and fees , get "IN Transit" placard. Keep receipts. Once you arrive at your home state, go to the DMV. Pay taxes-credit taxes paid to other state. Pay fees. Get home state tags.

Did the trip from CA to NV when I imported the Camaro from England
NV issued a single trip permit to get me home. I then registered in NV. NV plates definitely stay with the owner not the buyer. I learned that the hard way in Tx when I got a parking ticket from Dallas 9 months later. I lived in San Antonio. And that was trading the car into a dealer. |
dmv.org will tell you
I never get a temp plate. Paul |

Thanks Guys,
It looks like the owner will let me use his plates. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all. P.S. I also live by Harlem and Dempster. Small world. |

No you need to get a trip permit from either the state you buy the car in or the state you live in.
Check with your local DMV |
A lot of you are getting this correct.
Go to your "local" DMV and get a temporary or transport tag. Then when you buy the vehicle let that person keep his plates since he's out of state and are of no use to you. This also protects the seller from you getting him in trouble (or him getting you pulled over for traffic violations) with his plates on his registered car (until he notifies the DMV it is sold). The key to all of this is you can not operate a vehicle with out it being registered to be driven on public roads NO MATTER WHAT STATE you live in. With that said I've done this the correct legal way and also have done it with just leaving the sellers plates on until I go home and registered it. Playing ignorance won't get you out of a ticket everytime since cops are obligated to not allow unregistered vehicles travel on the road and they may even impound it. Odds are low but don't take the chance since Vettes are cop magnets anyhow. :cheers: |

As a former police officer, I'd be more than satisfied if I stopped a car with no registration and the driver produced a notorized title and/or a bill of sale. If I had any concerns about documentation, I'd contact the seller. |
Well,
I drove my FRC from Omaha, NE to GA and got pulled over twice (speeding) Both times they asked why I had NO plate....I showed them the title and the bill of sale and they sent me on my way. Got pulled over agian 3days later...same deal, showed them the bill of sale, went on my way. I still don't have any tag or paper plate on the car (2 months later) and I drive it everyday.... |
