I'm a PA resident and may soon be buying a used car from Ohio. PA requires inspections, so I will need to get it inspected after I buy it.
However - soon after I buy the car I will be driving out to Missouri (St. Louis) for business and will be there for a month or two. This brings up my question - if I'm unable to get the car inspected before I leave, could I be ticketed in another state (Missouri, or any other states along the way) for not having a PA inspection? I understand that Missouri also requires inspections... does this mean only that Missouri-plated vehicles must be inspected to legally be operated in Missouri, or does this apply to out of state vehicles as well?
So, to summarize: hypothetically, the car would be PA registered/insured, but uninspected, and being operated out of state (mostly in Missouri).
I greatly appreciate any information that y'all are able to provide. Thanks in advance.
