Both are illegal. However, if you drive without plates, but have just purchased the vehicle and have insurance, it is a small fine.
If you put the wrong plates on a vehicle, the car will be towed if you are caught, you will pay towing and impound fees, and still get a ticket. It is a much more serious charge.
The cheapest way to go if you don't want to get a ticket is to just have the car towed to where you want it until you get the proper paperwork to get it licensed.

You should get it registered and insured first. This is the best and safest way to avoid a ticket or being sued if you get into an accident.
However, most police will not ticket you for this. Some won't care. Make sure your drive the speed limit and drive carefully. Have the car you took the plate from drive behind you for protection. If you get into an accident, you are driving an uninsured car and could be sued.
I advise getting the registration and insurance. Why go through the headache if something goes wrong?

Neither. Get the car registered and insured before you drive it. Alot can happen in a couple of miles. If something does happen... you are royally Screwed!!
Some state insurance guidelines will insure any car that you buy automatically and give you 30 days to give the insurance company notice. Check with your local state guidelines to see if this is allowed. Otherwise, dont drive the car until it is insured and registered.

Both are illegal. Go register the car and get the legal plates - if they can't give them to you right there, you can get a temporary plate. In my state, that's good for 15 days, and the regular plates would be mailed to you.

Get temporary plates in your state. Far cheaper than the one time ticket for not having a registered car.
I did research on this to move a car from one state to another.
Believe me it will be cheaper.

Have an alarm installed and when she comes in let the police show up. You can't have an open door policy with her. You need to have tough love with her. She is 19 and needs a job to pay for things she needs. If you let it go on she will think she can do it all her life. And it is not alright open door or not to take things without asking. One day she might tell the wrong person she can come and go as she pleases and you will end up coming home to nothing. You are not her door mat. If you have talked with her and she is still doing it then you need to get tougher with her. Change locks whatever it takes.......good luck

Go to the local motor vehicle administration and purchase a 15 day temporary tag to move the car. This is not more that 50.00 which is far less than if you put wrong tags on car and get pulled over.

Each state has different requirements and regulations regarding temporary plates or registration. You should contact the DMV directly to find out how to go about this process and avoid getting a ticket.

you should have insurance with your carrier if you just bought the car, like alfa will automatically give you 10 days to come in. call your local dmv. check their rules regarding grace period for registration of newly acquired vehicle

Get a bill of sale and drive the limit, get it legal a.s.a.p, most cops will understand.
If they dont you will get a ticket.
