I live in NYC where we use public transportation exclusively. I want to buy a house 6 hours away in a city that needs a car. Should I rent a car for a few days when I buy my house and go car shopping? What if I buy the house before I have a car, should I use a cab. Not having a car is really causing confusion on how to coordinate the move because I need it for lots of stuff from going to the hardware store, getting groceries, or doing laundry. I don't want to buy a car in New York City first.
I realize the question is a little confusing. How would you all go about identifying a new city, buying a house, and buying a car? If I buy the car first, I won't have a driveway to park it in. If I buy the house first I won't have a car to do the things I need to do living in the house.

You are making this way too difficult. Rent a car, buy a house, then buy a car.

Buy the house first and then the car - as you said you can rent a car while moving
