I am looking to buy this 2007 Audi A4 with 42000 miles on it in up state NY and I have never bought from a private dealer before. So far she has shown me close up pictures and told me it was garage kept and well maintained. It looks that way in the photos. But could you guys give me some pointers when buying a user car out of state? I had some questions too.

1. If I decide to buy the car, how can I legally drive it back to NJ without the risk of breaking the law without the car being insured and without NJ license plates? I don't have anyone that can tow it either. I am used to a dealership taking care of this stuff.

2. What kind of documents besides the Title of the car do I need to get from her? Also, do I need the title to be notorized or just signed by her?

3. In terms of checking the car over and test driving it, what are some things I should really look out for? I'm not a mechanic so if you have ideas for novices like myself, I am all ears.

4. What is the cost to register the car in NJ with out of state taxes buying it from NY?

It's a sweet looking car from the pics, but I am still skeptical until I see it.


Also, do you guys like that LED row lighting that goes across the headlights of the newer Audis? I know I am dealing with the American muscle car crowd here and I am a proud owner of my Camaro, but I've really come around to liking that headlight look on the Audis.
