    Idk if it has changed, but they used to require you take delivery on the property where it would be used. That meant you’d either need to negotiate a free delivery, or pay to have the dealership deliver the vehicle to the private property where it would be used. There’s a special registration for that, it doesn’t just stay unregistered, especially if financing is involved.

      Maybe that’s a state law or something related to new cars? People buy as-is used cars in private sales and trailer them home all the time.

        You don’t need insurance in my state, for a while you could drive newly acquired cars without plates in CA, but I think they recently closed that loophole.

          Yea they plastic temp plates now that you legally need on new cars before driving it off the lot. Lots dbags out there just never putting on their metal plates on new cars and driving like jackasses, that’s why.
