    I wonder what the state’s recourse is for this dealership and the sale. This type of sale has to throw a bunch of red flags into the system.

      So long as the sales tax gets paid the state probably doesn’t care much. Registration and insurance is only required for driving on public roads, you can make a new car a lawn ornament or for your personal off road track without those.

        Right. The litigious nature of things though, I wonder if the dealership could be at fault for giving some POS a car without proof of either. Registration of and insurance for this vehicle is required due to the public road use. Ain’t like he’s driving it solely on his own land.
