I've lurked these forums for a few years, and I decided to ask this question here since the demographic that posts here appears to have more life experience than most of the other car discussion boards.
Has anyone driven long distance (>1000 miles) in a used car they had just purchased? I live in Massachusetts, and there is a car in Oregon that the seller is adamant about selling locally. They refuse to have the car shipped out of state even if I hire and deal with the shipping company myself. What exactly would you need in order to drive the car legally-cross country while still being cost-effective? The main issue seems to be getting the car registered and insured in MA after it's purchased. The drive looks simple enough since it's all interstate and the car is fuel-injected with lowish mileage for a late 80s car.
