Bringing a car to Florida by a Fl. resident

[bobharb]

I am about to purchase a corvette from a seller in Kentucky. After the sale is completed I will be driving the vehicle from Kentucky to Miami,Fl.. Does anyone know the legal process I should follow to complete the sale and bring the Vette home.
That is, do the Ky. plates stay with the car?, if not, how do I get a Temp plate? and what paperwork must I have to register in Fl?
thank you for the help.

Well I have just gone through half of this process and will do the other half as soon as my insurance binder shows up. I bought my C6 from a dealer in New Hampshire and had it shipped down here. The dealer provided a 20 day temporary tag, which is on it now.

When I go to the tag office, I am expecting to have to pay Florida sales tax on the car when I register it here, as I did not pay New Hampshire sales tax (which there is NONE) when I purchased it. I would like to think I wouldn't have to pay that tax, but I suspect there is no way out of it..

I'd call the tax collectors office (local) and see what they say.

The Tax collector should issue you a temp tag which will allow you to opeerate the vehicle on florida roads until your new florida tag arrives.

Is this a private sale or a dealer?

When I bought the Mustang, the dealer goofed up the paperwork concerning the Tag.
Anyway,The temp. tag was about to expire so, I went to the Tax Collectors office and they made me up a New Temp Tag, to hold me till the plate came in.
