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

[davidwinchell2 at sprynet.com (David L. Winchell, II)]

Al,

I did this before in SC and found out the law and what my insurance company
allowed.  In SC you thirty days to insure and register the car.  You can
drive with the NY tags or any other tag. Best if you get a 30 temp tag from
the state as this will avoid being pulled by troopers and hassled (they will
right you a ticket for no tag, you show to court with tag, registration and
proof of insurance and the charge is dropped.) Insurance companies varied.
I have state farm and they cover any vehicle I purchase for thirty days from
sale with the same coverage as my most covered vehicle.

I would call you insurance company for specifics of your coverage and length
of coverage before binding.

HTH

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
