I bought a car brand new from California. Make sure you pay the state tax in Texas or whatever state you buy the car in if you plan on driving the car in NYS while waiting for the title and registration in NYS.

I had my car impounded in Cheektowaga because I had a temporary California tag with insurance and proof of ownership.

NYS DMV sucks.
