Proof o insurance , drivers license , Money… that should do you good. I think you can have the person sign away the title and you can drive it home get it regged here in PA.

That’d be ideal. I’d hate to have to register it in NY and then bring it home and register it in PA

I think NY has a “vehicle in transit” tag. My parents bought a car a while back from NY and that’s what they got.

Call AAA and ask them. They’ll know.

Offhand, I’d say that if the car has a title then I think you’ll need to have it signed and notorized in NY before you leave. If the car doesn’t have a title then I would think that you’ll want to get a bill of sale drawn up and have it notorized before you leave NY.

FWIW, I’ve driven cars back to PA with a license plate off of one of the cars that I already own. Probably not the best thing but I’ve never had a problem so far.
