Purchased a car from a private seller. Can I drive the car before the title is released by the lienholder?

We Answered:

That is the same in all states.
It will take 2-3 wks for Toyota to do the paperwork.
You can call Toyota and ask for express service on the title.
and overnight the title. That will save you some time.
Or drive the car with the previous owners plates.

Unless you are a legal resident of either Wisconsin or New Hampshire, (neither state requires auto. ins.) you by law, must have liability insurance to drive anywhere in the USA

How to get Temporary Registration to transport a Vehicle? MA to NC?

We Answered:

In my experience, here in NC, you can take a license plate that is on one of your current vehicles and the registration for this plate and drive it home on that, but you MUST get insurance on it before you drive it home. You have 5 days after purchase to get the vehicle registered, but you will have to have insurance. Additionally, your local DMV office may offer a temporary plate or another solution.

I've bought several vehicles from out of state, and have never had an instance where they couldn't issue a temporary plate. Call the MA DMV and verify that they don't issue them.

Cynthia Said:

can you get plates for a car, in NC, that is registered to one person, but is insured by someone else?

We Answered:

It is NOT legal !!! You have to have the car registration and insurance in the persons name that is going to drive it. The title takes about 2 - 4 weeks.
