I'm 19 and just started looking buying a used car a few months ago (my first car). I've done a lot of research and finally found what seems to be a good car, but it's in a TN dealership and I live in AL. I'm concerned on who to pay taxes to, and will I be able to drive it home that day? Or will I have to go to the AL DMV and get temporary tags and drive all the way back?

I also just recently transferred my driver's license from MD to an AL license, but my hard copy has yet to come in the mail---will the dealer accept the paper copy I have?

This is going to be a dumb question, I just need to ask it. My bank is all they way in MD, and since I live in AL, I can't get my hands on enough cash to pay for the car. I do have enough money in my bank account to buy the car, though, so I was just planning on writing the dealer a regular check. Can I do that? Do I need to contact my bank to let them know there's gonna be a withdrawal of that amount?

One last question. As of right now, I don't have a car or drive, so I don't have any insurance. I'm going to get insurance with USAA, and I already have my policy built, I just don't want to buy any for the car until I know I'm going to actually be buying it (I still have the test drive and PPI to take care of). I can do it online, and the website says the insurance will take place immediately, so I'm assuming there's some proof of insurance I can print off. Problem is, I want to have insurance for the drive back to AL, so I'll be dragging my laptop to TN to buy it, but my printer isn't very mobile. If I have the proof of insurance saved to my laptop, will that be good enough if (God forbid) I get pulled over?

I know I have a lot of questions and I sincerely thank whoever takes the time to answer them.
