I have bought vehicles from out of state, but it was from family so I did not need to worry about the mechanical inspection. I did add in the cost of transporting the vehicle back to Texas when I considered the price.

The points made above are valid things to consider, as is the time involved in getting it registered and titled in Texas. A dealer here takes care of that for you, which is why you pay a $150-250 "documentation fee". Also, if you buy it here,yo pay the sales tax on the actual price of the vehicle, but if you buy it out of state you have to pay the sales tax on the retail book value of the vehicle. That is rarely what you think it will be or close to what you paid.
