I did this in October (live in VA bought in NC). If you are buying from a private owner (non-dealership) with a lienholder, beware! Make sure you get your stuff straightened out with the owner's bank before driving to pick it up. In my case, the PO's lienholder took nearly a month to process my payment off his loan, notify the appropriate DMV, and issue me a new title to take to the DMV.
