Living in NY and buying from MA

Question type: General

I have been searching for a very
specific car for months and finally
found it, but it is in Massachusetts
and I live in NY. I contacted the
dealer and they said they've never
sold a car to anyone in NY before
and don't know what to do about
registration. What do I need to do
before I go there to make sure I can
go there and buy the car and drive it
home in one trip? I don't want to
have to make the four hour drive
twice.

Thanks for getting back to me. If the dealer doesn't have a clue, how are they going to give me a temporary registration? Can I get one from the ny dmv before I go?
