How do you assess a non-local car FS when it is...

...not registered?

I'm interested in pursuing a couple of cars, neither of which has been registered for a few years since they are either being used as track/DE cars or haven't been driven for the last year. Now, I can appreciate a seller saying "we can drive it in the big-a*s office parking lot across the street", but I'd feel uncomfortable if that was the only initial-view/pre-PPI assessment, given that I have to fly to see either of the cars.

Anyone here BTDT? How do you address that situation?

TIA for your help, as always,

Phil

Do you know anyone with a dealer plate? I used to borrow one of my shop's dealer plates and fly all over the place with it (Germany) to pick up cars. There are some liability issues to be worked out with the shop but at least you could drive it. Some states also issue 24 hour temp permits...you would have to get a day's insurance of course. Worst case scenario might be a really deserted industrial road....
