I will be looking at a car this weekend. I understand that within 3 days of purchase I do not need a license plate to drive a newly purchased vehicle within Michigan. I do need the assigned title and "proof of insurance". Is there an option to get a travel/temp permit for out-of-state buyers? I know Michigan has 30 day temporary permits but it looks like I may not qualify.

Is it a requirement for me and the seller to complete the title transfer at a Secretary of State office? Or can the seller sign over the title and I can drive back to Indiana?

You do NOT have to go to an SOS. The seller for his protection makes a copy of the title as its signed over with the signatures and sales info and at that point he is no longer responsible. That copy covers his butt.
As to you as a buyer the car is then your responsibility.

the rest of your concerns I do not have answers to.
