i would say get a bill of sale from the guy and make sure you have your liability insurance papers when your going to pick up the car. If you get pulled over just explain to the cops that you just purchased the car, show them the bill of sale, and your insurance and you should be good

What I did. I bought a car in FL...drove it to TX, stayed for a week then drove to ND. Got pulled over once and I flashed htem the bill of sale and all was good. Went to the DMV as soon as I got home and the bill of sale got me temp plates. Make sure you get a bill of sale.

As long as you got a bill of sale you'll be straight.
