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.

well i drove a car form PA to NJ with no plates the thing is to just blend in with the traffic, or if you have a friend with a Audi just like that one ask him to come along with his plates, reg and insurance. try to keep on the highways too and in the middle lane.
I know the if its a 2.0 turbo it eats oil for no reason idk why or how but it does my friend had one that would suck a quart every 2000-4000 miles or so. dealership didn't know why. i think its the turbo but just ask if it burns oil. besides that check over everything push every button and just have a really good look over it.
