I'm picking up a car from Virginia this weekend. My bank told me that I would need to get it registered there to get 30 day tags to drive it back, and then have to register it in Ohio as well to get permanent plates...this seems like a HUGE pain in the ass, and waste of money.
My dad is coming with me and suggested that I just use the plates I already have, throw them on the new car, and drive very gingerly back. The title is going to the bank, so will I have any issue getting it registered when I get back to Ohio with the bill of sale? Or is there anything the current owner needs to actually be present to sign on? That's my main worry. Any help is appreciated guys, thanks.
