temp tags, you’ll need full insurance and proof of it, your bill of sale, and the florida title in case you are stopped. check their dmv website for specifics, it varies from state to state.

what are you looking at, elise?

Shipping would prolly be easier… but You could rock out the elise on the thruway the whole way home if You drive. :shrug:

I dunno about FL, but for NYS:  
Transport tags & insurance needed to “transport” with NYS temp tags.  
You will need proof of tax paid when You register it up here (or THEY WILL charge you NY ST as well).

You’ll get a temp tag from the dealer, you’ll need to have ins. and then when you register it here you need to pay the tax to get plates at the DMV

X…

P.S. the suck part is you can’t roll the tax into your payment.

good point, almost forgot: do _not_ let the dealership collect the full NYS tax for you, many states are not authorized to do so. also, don’t let them “handle” the titlework for you - get the title at point of purchase.

> Proof of sales tax payment, sales tax exemption, or purchase price. You must pay the sales tax, prove that it was paid, or prove your exemption at the DMV office when there is a change of ownership, a lease agreement, or a new resident of NYS applies for a NYS registration or title certificate. You must get a sales tax receipt from the DMV even if the transaction is exempt from sales tax.

> If you bought the vehicle **from a NYS automobile dealer or an out-of-state dealer that is authorized to collect NYS sales tax** , bring the dealer’s bill of sale that shows that you paid NYS sales tax. Also bring form MV-50 (NYS dealer only) or [form DTF-803](http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/forms.htm#dtf803) (out-of-state dealer). If NYS sales tax was paid to a NYS dealer, sales tax is not collected when you apply for a vehicle registration, and the DMV does not issue a sales tax receipt.

> If you **paid out-of-state sales tax** , show the out-of-state dealer bill of sale. The bill of sale must show the purchase price and the amount of out-of-state sales tax paid to the dealer. Use [form DTF-804](http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/forms.htm#dtf804) to claim credit for the state and local sales taxes you paid in the other state. This process can reduce the amount of your NYS sales tax if NYS and the other state have an agreement about sales tax.
