Traveling to the States

[KiwiChev]

Hi guys,

I have acouple of questions about buy and driving a vehicle in the US.

I'm traveling to the States again in 2018 for Speed-week at Bonneville and thought this time instead of renting a car like we did last time, we would like to buy (in particular a Chevy truck) and drive to Bonneville and around the western side of the states for the rest of our holiday and possibly ship the vehicle home. (shipping side of it is all under control)

My questions are what do I need in to make sure i have in line legally. When we rented a car our insurance was covered under our travel insurance which I will find out if we need anything else for that.

But what about registration? What do I do about changing the vehicle into my name after its been purchased? Also what does it mean when you see a vehicle for sale that is on a salvage title?

If someone could explain Step by Step how the buying process goes that would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance Craig
