Buying car out of state - driving without plates?
I am flying down to north carolina to buy a 951 and then drive it back up to CT, stopping along the way to visit some old friends. Alas, the transaction has not been 100% completed yet, so I don't have title or registration in hand - which makes it impossible to register or get temp plates in CT for now.
What would be the best way to go with this? I have been told by a couple sources (reputable ones) that it's okay to drive a car that was just purchased without plates as long as you have the proof of insurance, bill of sale, title, and registration in the car with you. This makes me nervous, though. Would I be better off attempting to get temp plates at the NC DMV while I am down there?
