Dumb idea. You will pay registration fees, and sales tax to Oklahoma, and then again to California when you register it here. You really won’t save anything.> > >

I just bought a car in PA and I was bringing it to VA. I got temp. Tags but they were sending the title to VA. You may have to pay a second registration fee because you didn’t mention it before…. But you should be fine to drive and then register it in your new state!> >Good Luck> > >

If you buy it from a dealer out of state, he is an agent of the dmv, he may give you a temporary (paper) tag. If is from a private party, you need to get the vin number, call the insurance company, give the vin, have a copy of the insurance card faxed to you (or pick it up) go to the dmv ahead of time with the vin the license plate and insurance card, and get a temporary tag to transport the vehicle. Which you then need to take to the dmv, to get the vin inspected, and get plates and registration for your car> > >

No, you don’t have to – because it will show up on your record, and then you’ll get either an “uprate” or a cancellation notice for failure to disclose. > >Believe me, they WILL find out. PA is hooked into driving records with the other states DMV’s, AND the companies check claims records via CLUE report. And with two at-faults, you’ll get the cancellation notice, which will give you 10 days, and then you’re starting all over again.> > >

Every new car warranty > is accepted all over the United States and Canada. The same applies for Manufacturer Service Contracts that extends the warranty >.
