Working on getting a tow rig so I don't get stuck at uwharrie some time.

Looking at a truck in NC, with a PA title

Looking through the NCDOT/DMV website, it doesn't really say anything about buying a car/truck with out of state title, is there anything I should be doing aside from whats listed on here?

To register a vehicle purchased from an individual:

1. Furnish the title properly assigned, and notarized to you. If any liens are shown on the front of the vehicle's title, you will need a lien release.

2. Complete the pdf icon Title Application (MVR-1), declaring all liens, signed by all owners in the presence of a notary.

3. If the vehicle is less than 10 years old, you must supply an odometer disclosure statement signed by both the seller and the buyer.

4. A pdf icon Damage Disclosure Statement (MVR-181) is required.

5. The title will be issued and mailed to the owner or if a lien is declared, to the lienholder.

6. If purchased from a North Carolina resident, the owner has to have the vehicle inspected in North Carolina prior to a license plate being issued. If purchased from an individual that resides out of state, the owner will be issued a plate without having the vehicle inspected in N.C. The plate will not be eligible for renewal one year later unless the vehicle has passed a N.C. inspection.

7. A pdf iconDeclaration of Eligible Risk (MVR-615) is required.

Thanks guys, just never really bought a vehicle out of state before.
 
It gets a little tricky if you want to finance it. You'll have to get a personal loan to pay the seller. Get the title, have an NC title printed in your name, then take that to the bank. They'll put the lien on the new in-state title and change your loan over to an auto loan.
