I did something similar, bought in Indiana and was taking to Illinois to register. I had the option to have the dealer collect the tax or pay it on my own when I registered the car in IL - I did the latter. I also received a temporary Indiana tag for the trip to IL.Looks like Florida will issue you a 30-day in transit tag to ge the vehicle back to your home state. As others have noted, it appears you will have to pay sales tax in order to obtain that tag.
When we bought our new explorer in Illinois, they issued a 30 day tag, and notarized a form that stated the vehicle was not being titled in Illinois so no sales tax was due. We did then have to pay the Tax here when we applied for title...
You're kidding, right? Around here your car would be impounded if you put a plate on a car it's not registered to.
They must be pretty lax out west on these things I guess.No, I'm not. That's exactly what I did/have done in West, CA, NV, OR and WA.
Not here. Here the plate stays with the car. As long as the tags are good you have I think 10 days to register it.You're kidding, right? Around here your car would be impounded if you put a plate on a car it's not registered to.
But he is buying in Florida. And I never understood why some states have the plates stay with the car. What if there is a year left on the tags and the buyer keeps driving on them without ever registering it? What if he causes a wreck and it's still in the last owners name?Not here.

At least in California, when you sell a car you have 5 days to fill out a REG 138 which “relieves you of responsibility for parking and/or traffic violations and civil or criminal actions involving the vehicle after your date of sale.”But he is buying in Florida.

i just checked vt dmv website and i’m still unclear: can one buy a car in state x, drive it to state y, have absolutely no connection to, or make no transit through, vt and qualify for an online vt temporary tag?Add it to your CA insurance policy and get a Vermont temporary tag online. Takes five minutes and costs $7, if I remember correctly.

Still a bizarre concept to me. What's to stop a less than scrupulous buyer to keep driving on those tags without ever registering it or even getting insurance? At least in states that have the owner keep the tags, the new owner is forced to get their own tags.An advantge of plates belonging to the car is the new owner gets the rest of the year left on the tags as "paid for".
You have to attest that you're planning to eventually obtain a permanent VT registration. But, I mean, what happens if the car blows up in the interim? Are the super troopers going to come looking for you?i just checked vt dmv website and i’m still unclear: can one buy a car in state x, drive it to state y, have absolutely no connection to, or make no transit through, vt and qualify for an online vt temporary tag?

Also a car on a scrap or junk title.VT also lets you register a 15+ year old car without a title,
Not possible if you're picking up on a weekend. And where do they say to do that?Ever wonder why most states recommend you close the sale at the DMV/license location? That's why...
If possible start the online plate process once you posses the car.i just checked vt dmv website and i’m still unclear: can one buy a car in state x, drive it to state y, have absolutely no connection to, or make no transit through, vt and qualify for an online vt temporary tag?
