Hi,
I'm a German national and am looking into a three month vacation in
the US this summer. I thought I'd like to buy a cheapish used van so I
could even sleep in it in a pinch. There might be some serious milage
involved as I'll start out on the East Coast and should like to see
Washington, Virginia, possibly Milawukee, but also the West Coast, and
possibly back again.
I'd very much appreciate any helpful hints:
- I'm not familiar with US car registration procedures. Can I own a
car as a tourist at all, especially seeing I don't plan on having a
permanent place of residence in the US during my stay? Will there be
problems getting insurance?
- Traffic rules, laws, customs: As far as I'm aware, my driver's
license is valid for a year in the US, while I can only stay for 90
days as a tourist anyway. But maybe there's a web site or anything
that I can use to prepare for "American" traffic?
- Which web sites would you recommend to look for used cars on?
