Temporary registration varies by state, of course, so it depends on
where you are or where it came from. I'm in Connecticut and we can
get a temporary registration but it's very short term (10 - 20 days)
and requires paying the sales tax at that point and proof of
insurance. But in PA it's quite different. In 2017 I bought a
Boxster from PA and the transport process was easy and offered some
extended benefits. It gave me a one month (maybe 28 days?)
registration, no sales tax required, and proof of insurance was only
to show I was covered on some other policy. I drove the car back to
CT where I then used up most of the time back in Connecticut while I
resolved an emission issue.<br>
<br>
And in PA you can register the car at a Notary office, NO DMV!<br>
<br>
If you are lucky enough to know someone who will loan a dealer plate
then that is by far the easiest. <br>
<br>
I have also used trailers to move stuff around, and that avoids all
registration issues.<br>
<br>
In any event, regardless of requirements, it's a good idea to insure
it because you don't want to lose your investment. Bad stuff
happens.<br>

I stumbled into one.</span>

a LBC, so don't get too excited. But I got it at a rock bottom

a 2017 Land Rover Discovery with only 7000 miles on it (that's
right,
7K!)</span>

about the typical mouse damage, but I found the car through a

got
CLOSE to this car.</span>

<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">It was

so the exterior needs a deep cleaning, but the inside is

far, a cursory cleaning and it is almost brand new looking all

are...</span>
<br>
<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">1- of course
the
rotor and brakes are pretty surface rusted. I got the car
driving
and the brakes work, but is it worth it to replace the pads
(that are nearly
brand new) and rotors? Or can I do something different?</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Can I just
remove
and lightly sand all surfaces (pads and rotors?)</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">2-Of course
I'm
going through this with a fine comb, but is there anything else
I should
look out for? I'm doing filters and fluids. I already
installed
the new battery.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">3- Is there a
way to 'temporary' insure and registrar a vehicle to just move
it to a
car wash and gas station? Something like dealer plates, but for
a
limit, one time use?</span>
