buying car in another state - hows it *supposed to* work

[marc at getty.net (Marc Getty)]

Proper Way: If you have insurance on a car already, that is all the
insurance you will need. My State Farm covers any new car I buy for 5
days including collision, and liability for up to 10 day. Just go get
transit tags in NY and drive it back with them.

Improper way, put an out of state plate car that you also have the
registration for and go. It helps to carry the title and a dated bill
of sale to prove that you *JUST* got the car.

im getting this passat in NY and driving it back to SC. is there
anything im supposed to do insurance wise on my end before i get the
car? or is there some sort of coverage thing since i currently have
insurance on other cars? also, how do tags work in NY? if they stay
with the car, i should be good to go. erm, im stupid on these things,
help me out :).

i did this with the rieger, but im not sure if i did it correctly (i
just drove it home, TX to GA, then insured it).

TIA
Al
