Point of inquiry--why don't you drive the vehicle home, or are you buying a non-runner to make into yard art? |

Works perfectly; but how do you drive an unregistered an uninsured car home I'd rather have it towed then risk getting pulled over. This is the first time i've bought a car from a private party so i'm trying to see what my options are. Is there a process for temporary registration at the DMV? Or can I register it even though its on the current owners property?

If you have liability coverage on your other car, check out your policy. My policies offer coverage under your scenario. Also, I can bind coverage in a matter of 30 seconds over the phone, and do it all the time. If you have a dated bill of sale, I bet you $10 a cop would not give you a ticket if you were driving the car to take it to get it registered, by which I assume you mean getting plates for it. Try putting the SDL plates on it, get caught and see what happens vs. driving unregistered. |

you can call your insurance co and they will insure it over the phone with the VIN. any state will give you a temp tag to move the vehicle good for 30 days when you register/transfer it, you just sign the waiver saying it is insured

Now c'mon, no need for a bathing suit. Just take off the socks and shoes if riding in the back passenger seat after a heavy rain.

Sounds like you've done your homework. To be fair, my friend's never left him stranded. Without brakes, yes, with a cracked exhaust manifold, sure, with all manner of electrical gremlins, you bet, but never "stranded," strictly speaking. He got fed up with it (which is saying a lot, as he's monkeyed around with MG's, Jags, and Triumphs for years) and sold it at a significant loss, in the end.
Hope it turns out to be a good truck for you, anyway. They are neat, and can be had for next to nothing, so I guess it can't hurt to give one a shot!
