OT: Question on buying a car from a dealership in another state
- Thread starter DJ Spanky

I've bought cars in Maryland as a NJ resident. The dealer charged me NJ taxes (not Maryland). They also took care of all of the MV stuff by mail and fedexed me the plates and registration.
So really no different than if I had bought the car in NJ except having plates and reg sent to me instead of picking them up at the dealer.
I dont know if it works the same for your son's situation given the states are different.

This. Bought most of my cars in PA when I lived in NJ. They’re used to it and can walk you through the process
First, he should speak with the Dealer if they will handle the registration in Virginia. If so, when he get the registration, he will need to pick up the plate and have car inspected.
I would suggest he gets a temp tag from Virginia. Then he can drive safely to Virginia. He then finalizes the registration. I think he gets 30-60 days.

PS, I sold a car 3 years ago. The buyer came up from Virginia and had the temp registration I noted above. I took off the plates and he put on the temp and drove away.
