Buying a vehicle from an out of state dealer

---

i bought a used truck in houston, they did all the paperwork on the spot, paid louisiana sales taxes, gave me a louisiana temp registration paper with dealer paper license plate good for 60 days (i think) and they mailed me my louisiana plates.

easy peasy everything was done right at the point of sale, but i had to pay tax title and license fees right then as well.

when it comes to shipping, i think that may have been the issue if they were shipping it, if you were having a shipper pick it up im not sure why there would be an issue if you signed off on it already, but they do like to get an onsight inspection signed off on in case its damaged in shipping


if its a new vehicle then you should have arranged for a dealer to dealer transfer and pay deposit to your local dealer. then its all on them to get it there to complete the sale, but doing that, they can sometimes sell it out from under you if someone wants to pay more for it they you do. i am a particular buyer so i had a few special equipt trucks shipped to a local dealer for me and a couple of those deals fell through but you get your deposit back and move on.
