What's the process when purchasing a car across state lines?

Which state?

Once you purchase you have 40 days to register in LA

Bring title and bill of sale and proof of insurance to local title issuer

10% due then (Texas sale to La )

I bought a new Honda in 2006 and also in June of this year in Texas (Houston then Katy). They give you a temporary tag (60 days) and either give you the paper work to take to a DMV where you pay TTL, or they mail the paper work to your local DMV. If they mail it, the DMV will call you when all is ready and you go in and give them a cashiers (be sure to double check the correct amount owed)check for TTL. At that time they give you your Lic Plate and registration card, and mail you your LA title. There are no extra fees involved. It's been very simple for me each time. I wrote the TX dealers a check each time and didn't finance, but they will finance also.

Edit: Since I live in rural LA, my tax was 8%.

If you buy out of state, the money you save will pay for TTL. Dealers in LA are very expensive by comparison.

For most people, its a waste to roll taxes and fees into the loan as you will pay interest on taxes and fees.
