this must be a very special car that you are willing to travel 1200 miles to buy it. What make and model car is it?
 
I imagine you can a temporary registration so you can drive it to NY and then register it there.

It's MB S550. This is people that I know, they have some financial problems and need to sell it fast for cash. I think you may say it's special car )) especially for the money I'm paying.

Or you want to save the time and trip expense, give it to carmax.com to ship over or call the automobile hauler to ship to their NY station or to your door.

Now i understand! I would contact the Florida DMV or visit their website to learn more about their car buying process. There is nothing unusual about your request. it is an out of state purchase except instead of the states being next to one another, they are 1200 miles apart.
 
Do some reading on the Florida and NY DMV website. You should find your answer there. Since it is a friend of yours, fly down or take the train and stay a few days.

Not actual mileage title by 2kids3cats
Aug 22, 2009 (11:48 am)

1999 Ford Escort Wagon SE mileage 43,800. Did Carfax report. Says it was a rental for the last 9 years 6 months in Pennsylvania and the last reported mileage was 20,293 at emissions inspection.
 
sold 7/24/08 in PA mileage reported 31,585. Owner moved to Indiana and they issued Not actual mileage title on 8/19/08 at 33,494.
 
It looks very clean like it could be that mileage. Runs rough though. I am going to get a friend knowledgeable about cars to look at it. Owner had papers that she said were from previous owner. Said she had it tuned up a year ago and it didn't help.
 
Over 9 years seems a long time to be a rental. Any thoughts. Should I run?

Carfax records can be inaccurate and, given the value of the vehicle, I wouldn't be all that concerned by their history of the car.
 
Of far more concern would be the fact that the present owner has tried to get it running right and hasn't been able to do so.

I don't think I've ever seen a car more than two or three years old at ANY car rental agency. Anyone else?

I'd run the other way on that one. It spent time sitting doing nothing?

I saw the title. It said something about not actual mileage on it. The owner claimed not to know what that meant. Now I know that the state can classify the car as having wrong mileage. It sold anyway. Thanks for all the answers.

Did it express mileage in 6 digits (not including tenths of a mile)? It could have 143K miles on it; not 43K.
