Walk It Through: The Temporary Tags

A used car with no title, the temporary registration, and the next sale.

A buyer drives a used car off a dealer's lot on temporary tags, and weeks pass with no title.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

One used car and one dealer. Fees, taxes, odometer statements and the dealer licensing board's process are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
