Yeah, I have the bill of sale and the seller is being extremely cooperative on finding a resolution.

Great! Thanks for the feedback on Texas experiences specifically.

Once you have the Vermont registration you can transfer it to your state and get an actual title. Or just leave it as registered and use the Vermont plates.
This is an interesting option!

Thanks to everyone for the guidance and suggestions!
