So, looking to get my first car, i live in NY and seen a car id be interested in in Texas (slightly ashamed to say im not going yank but German with an Audi S5) and its a private sale.
Thing is, as plates stay with the person, and i have no plates, how do i drive it back?
Ive tried googling and the DMV site seems to just answer every question but the one i have, getting temporay plates until i get the car back to NY and register it there.

Any help appreciated

Such a shame, I really can't get my head around how almost America is in its bureaucracy, how can a simple transaction such as buying a secondhand car be such a palaver I don't know.
Still, it is what it is, time to succumb and buy from a dealer I guess, shame, I was looking forward to the road trip!
