In Fla there is a provision for purchasing a 30 day temporary tag from DMV
for out-of-state transport. It costs $5 + applicable sales tax for the
purchase amount of the vehicle. (Or at least on the amount on the bill of
sale. 8^) You have to show a valid out-of-state license and current
insurance coverage on any vehicle (30-day new/used car coverage is fairly
standard). You might be liable for sales tax or other fees in your
home state over and above the sales tax paid in Florida. Like someone
said, there is probably provisions for transfer of title at Carlisle. I
am sure you are not the only one who has ever run into this problem.
Maybe call the Carlisle people and ask...
later...

Snip.....
In PA, you must have your title and tags secured before the
transaction is legal. I would imagine that Carlisle would
have several certified people at the show who are capable to
complete this transaction (service fee of about $25).
Be sure to take proof of insurance, your current coverage
on your car(s) is enough since they are obligated to cover
a new car for up to 30 (?) days after a new purchase.
Also, be prepared to pay a 6% sales tax to PA.
Not sure how they handle it if you're registering it for
another state? Any ideas here?
