We plan on moving to the CDA area in a couple (2-3) years. If our current car lasts until then, we plan on selling it and then flying up. Once we're there, how hard is it to buy a car with an out of state drivers' license? We'll have a lease, so we will have something that shows we will be living there.

Oak.....you can get your Idaho Lic. as soon as you have a lease/proof of residence so the out of state lic.shouldn't be an issue. Even so, US greenbacks will get you a car in all 50 states .

You only need to have an Idaho License to register the car here. Otherwise, you can buy a car anywhere you want.

Thanks. All of this in contingent on our current car lasting and not having to get something else before we move.

You do not need an Idaho license to register a car in Idaho.

Weird. In Ada county, they would not let me register my newly purchased vehicle until I had my license and it turned out to be an ordeal. Although that isn't saying much as I've been given misinformation from the DMV many, many, many times.

Different counties in Idaho might have different rules on registering vehicles, like requiring that you first must have your Idaho driver's license. I would think that Idaho state law would be the same for all counties on something like this but I've been wrong before-IOW's Idaho may let individual counties handle it their own way.
