Not all states offer temporary tags.
The worst is MA, where you have to buy car, get title, go back to MA RMV, register car, get plates and go back to pick up your car that you paid for last week. (Or trailer it home).
I don't know anyone that does that. When I bought a private party car out of state, we did it at his credit union and I just put on MA plates from another car and risked it. Technically illegal and my insurance would not have covered me.
Same for dealers, bought a new car in NH last year and had to wait 2-3 weeks for them to get plates from MA (I wasn't trading in). Their "runner" won't go to MA RMV until car is fully paid for.
