Not that difficult. Buy it, register and insure it in a state that 
allows them. You want an address in Miami Beach? Go to Mail Boxes 
Etc and take a box for $200/year.

Two issues with this - your insurance may challenge you on the 
primary location, and local dealers may not be trained to service 
the vehicle.

Have I given this some thought? :)
