This is a private seller that plans to simply sign the title over to me. I checked with the VA DMV's hotline and the helpful person on the phone said that the temporary transport tag (good for 3 days and a specified start and end point pair) is good for out-of-state transport as well. This can be picked up at any DMV service center and requires proof of insurance, the signed title and payment of the fee.
So eventhough the website says VA residents only, I'm going with that plan. Thanks to Marshall for pointing out the link on the VA DMV site. ...Kevin 87 300TD 284k mi Tan Qu said: > Usually you can get a temporary tag from where you buy > the car by explaining to them that you want to > register the car in a different state but want > something to transport the car legally.
