I need help understanding these things if you could help me

My friend buys and sells cars. He was talking to me about how it was a good deal and he didn't sign the title yet or if you get a dealers license you don't need to worry about that or going to sec. State...I'm not sure

Then he said its sitting outside so he put his plates on it but its uninsured bit at some point he will have to put PLPD on it.

Can someone give me a break down of how titles, plates and insurance works? When its needed, how a dealers license changes things, why you need a dealers license to buy and sell or why it helps.

That would be much appreciated thanks

i have a dealer plate, just means i can use the plate on any vehicle and i am fully insured. I don't understand half the stuff you typed :/

I'm not sure but I do know that some states will allow you to have temp tags for X amount of months. I know where I live they give you the 2 month when you buy the car, then on top of that you can get an extension for another 2 months, and then a 1 month after that before you are required to get a valid plate.

I'm not sure how he can sell the car tho without having the title in his name?

If the car was never registered in his name the previously signed title is still valid. That is why there are multiple signature slots.
