Can I buy a car in the US? Posted on: Sun, 18 Feb 2007 21:52:07 +0000 (UTC)

I'm wondering if anybody could possibly give me some advice and help
me out. I live in the UK and am travelling to the US in December this
year and staying for 5 months(dependant on visa). I thought rather
than hire a car I'd buy a crappy old mini-van and drive across America
sleeping in it to save cash.
I was gonna try and buy one in Seattle and drive all over and sell it
around Miami, possibly to a dealer.
Is this possible? I've read that you have to have a permanent US
address to have plates to put on a car but is there a way round this
for foreigners?

I know a bit about cars and thought I could always get breakdown cover
if I'm desperate.

Is this whole thing a bad idea?! help! :)

Any pointers would be great thanks.
