Gentlepeople,
I'm thinking of buying a car that's 1000 miles away.
Does anyone have any experience doing this?
(I'm sure this topic has been covered, but a check of
the archives turns up too many unrelated topics, like
"remote control" and "looks good from a distance").
Aside from checking the car for problems, I'm also
concerned about transporting it home. My plan is to
fly/drive to the location and drive it home. But what
about licensing and plates? I don't want to have to
make two trips (one to inspect/buy, and a second
after registering and licensing it).
I've heard of using a (remote) dealer to help out.
They can do the inspection and possibly issue
temporary plates.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
Regards,
Kent McLean
