I live in NJ but I want to buy this car that is in NY. I am buying the car from the owner (not a dealer). Do I have to get transfer plates and get a titile for NJ or can I just drive the car home and worry about that when go to the DMV when I get the new plates for the car.
 
Varies state to state and cop to cop. Most will let you off as long as you have a title signed over to you and a bill of sale.

Can't emphasize it enough: get something written up!
 
i would buy the car and register it the day of. doesnt take that long. I bought my car in florida and i live in new york. got the title, and registered it and drove it up. no problem
