Topic: Buying cars from out of state, mainly Arizona
I live in Illinois and I'm trying to buy a car in Arizona. I'm curious if anyone has any experience doing this type of thing. The original plan was for my sister who lives in Phoenix to get it for me and hang on to it until March. One of the problems is that it's three hours away. From what I'm hearing when you buy a car the buyer and seller go to the DMV and do the paperwork right away and you're done. By the time she gets out of work and drives three hours the DMV is closed and they aren't open on weekends. The seller insists on getting everything notarized which also can't be done after hours. How do you people deal with these things? Illinois is so different. We just sign the title and take your money.
