DMV and getting your plates, then go back to the dealership to complete your deal.  Also - alot of states cracking down on temp plates because it's easy to fake them and alot of stolen cars get shuffled around that way, so it makes it harder for the cops since the car will come up "unregistered".</p></blockquote><p></p>
