> The car I will be buying in two weekends is in Niles, OH. The car will be sitting down at Jeff’s for a few months until everything can be finalized. Is it possible not to get the vehicle registered in the state of PA, but just transfer the title, and then when it is finished, register it here? I will be taking out a small loan (2,500) to buy, and then pay back after I will sell the Nissan Hardbody and some of the other misc. parts I bought. The title will be in my name or the banks name until the loan is payed off? If it is in the banks name, I know I will need to get full insurance on the car, but don’t want to just yet. Any help is much appreciated.

well just take out a regular loan…and don’t tell them it’s on a car because then your rates will change and you will HAVE to have full coverage…i don’t know if you have to have it insured if your keeping it in storage or a garage(ie. off the street)
