Hi, I'm about to buy a new used car. I found a car for a good price, but its out of Texas. I've never bought a car before from someone that wasn't a dealer, so I had a few questions.

-When I bring the car back, I assume she will keep her license plates. How do I drive back to Texas with no license plate? Can I just tell a cop if he pulls me over that I just bought it and am driving to the dps to get new tags?

- What all do I need in order to get the transaction done safe. (Just the title, the car, and maybe a bill of sale?)

-And also, when I bring the car back to Texas, I'm assuming that's where I have to register the title and car under my name. How much tax do I have to pay on the car? Does anyone know?

Retail it's a 29K car, but the seller is selling it to me for about 16K because we've known her for a while. I'm hoping I don't have to pay tax on the full amount of the car, but the price she's giving me at.

Thanks guys! Excited about the new car purchase.
