Ya, $1000 car, plus licensing and taxes, insurance, and gas yada yada...ill stay here and work.$1000 car is the max...Could buy a $500 car (and split with another person = $250/each). Registration is around $50 for something like that, but if you buy the car from ND, the car comes with 30 days of registration via the previous owner's registration card. My insurance company covers vehicles I buy under my primary vehicle's insurance for 30 days after purchase as well. Then you can sell the car at the end, hopefully for around $500. Meaning you really only spent gas money, etc...
The goal is to keep the total out of pocket cost for those that don't keep their cars or have their cars break along the way to be $500 or less. Fuel will be $225 for most individuals round trip (2000 miles @ 30mpg gas avg. $3.25/gal)...Keeping in mind one can split this fuel cost amongst team members. Remainder of the money to go towards food, maybe a hotel, etc.
In all, it won't cost you that much as long as you play your cards right.

Lol the 30 day registration thing is bogus, if you sell a car it should be titles in your name, that's the law anyways. If you buy a ar, don't title it and sell it, its called title jumping, and I believe it is either a class a misdemeanor or a felony in MN, don't know about ND. This sounds like a blast but I candy afford.To do it right now

This sounds like a blast but I candy afford.To do it right nowI didn't say to break the law, nor am I implying it. I'm explaining what the law is. My point: if registration money is an issue, you have time to gather the funds to register it formally. The 30 day registration thing is not bogus. In North Dakota, on the back of every registration card, there is a 30 day permit to place in the window for purchasers of the vehicle. This way, the previous owner of the vehicle keeps the licence plates as in ND the plates belong to the owner, not the vehicle as in MN. Call the ND DOT/DMV if you don't believe me.

The 30 day permit is to allow you to drive the vehicle until new plates arrive.I'd be careful when buying a car you plan to beat on and plan to sell right away, could be some issues.
I respectfully disagree with your first statement.
From my discussions with Bismarck and personal experience, here is my assessment:
One gets new plates on the spot in ND when one goes to the DMV to pay for registration and title transfer, as long as one doesn't order personalized plates. If one orders personalized plates, one is then given a separate document which states the license plates are coming in the mail (Not this exact wording, but you get what I mean. Have done this 5 times). The 30 day permit on the back of a registration card is so the previous owner of the car can keep his own plates and so one is then forced to register the vehicle within 30 days of the transaction occurring. If the person does not, he is then driving a non-registered vehicle which is punishable by a hefty fine (~$500 I want to say)
