Subject: Out-of-State Car Transport

[LL - NY]

I picked up my S6 from PA with temp NY tags. Have the NY buyer contact his
insurance co. with the car's VIN so that it's covered. When he gets his temp
Insurance ID cards, he then goes to NY DMV and picks up temp tags. Then he
goes to pick up the car. I don't recall if the temp tags are 10 day or 30
day, but the buyer will find out when he goes to get them.

HTH,

LL - NY
