Guys need a quick response if possible.

I'm eyeing a car in Calgary and I plan to fly down to view/inspect it. What will I need to be able to drive it back to BC and register the car? Can I get a temporary insurance from Alberta or is there more to consider? The seller can transport it for $500 but I think I'll have much more fun driving it back. Anything else I should look for?

Found this from ICBC about VI from Alberta too.
"Under the New West Partnership Trade Agreement (effective April 1, 2015), qualified private vehicles imported from Alberta or Saskatchewan may be exempt from the BC pre-registration safety inspection. Please ask your Autoplan broker for details."

Thanks in advance.
