See if your state offers a “one way trip permit”. Virginia does, can purchase online for about $5 and print it. Good for one trip from purchasing vehicle wherever and straight home, within a few days window. You can even purchase one without first buying the vehicle, just in case you do buy the vehicle and want to drive home.
You need insurance as well.

See if your state has a similar permit.
