Sorry..you put "private dealer". Is he a dealer or a Private Party? For the future it would help to know what state you are in. Not all states offer temp tags. The dealer made a sale. Ask him to drive it home for you with his dealer plates on. Better yet, you should insure and register it.
They give you a paper temp tag.
Please visit the dealer to get these problems fixed.
There are two key sources. If you got your car from a dealer, the dealer can get you a pair. Alternatively, contact your local traffic authorities and make an application.

I am a used car dealer in GA. You are responsible for insuring your vehicle before it leaves the lot. You may not understand: While the tags are temporary, they are yours, not the dealers. (Dealer tags are something entirely different, and only for cars the dealer owns). Temporary tags are actually issued by the Motor Vehcile Dept. until the permanent ones and title/registration paperwork are ready. The dealer just handled the paperwork for you. Car is sold. Is yours and your obligation - dealer no longer has any risk, and would have no reason, probably no right as he has no chance of loss, to insure it.
saved temp files.
COULD BE MANY THINGS- NEED MORE SPECIFICS. MOST LIKELY TXV OR CHARGE ISSUE. IF TEMP RISE GOOD IN H/P MODE W/O STRIP OR SUPP. HEAT ADDED MOST LIKELY TXV. IS OA TEMP AN ISSUE THIS TIME OF YEAR? (LOW HEAD PRESSURE) lc
The temp sensor in the grille needs replacing. It is about $23 from your dealer. Be sure to read the directions that come with it as they tell you how to reset the dash to read the new sensor.
There is no way to go ahead and get a temp plate on a Sunday unless the car lot gives you one. Many car lots will give a temp plate, but it is up to the dealer.
The temperature guage, however, since you have a Buick, you more than likely dont have one. The issue with this is once the Temp warning light turns on, it might just be to late. You can buy a program like HP Tuners, install it into your laptop, and get the connector cable, and you can monitor your car in real time. This will tell you your temp. Otherwise you can go to your dealer, which would actually be cheaper, and they can use their computer to do the same thing.
