Main thing is the taxes. If you pay a sales tax in the state you buy it in, make sure you have proof that the sales tax was paid there. Otherwise, you will be paying the sales tax in MI when you register it at a Secretary of State office. That is how it has worked for me anyway.

Within 15 days of buying a vehicle, you must title it in your name at a Secretary of State branch office. Failure to transfer the title within that time will result in a $15 late fee. At the time of titling, a $15 title transfer fee will be collected as well as 6% use tax.

Sale tax is paid in the state you buy, unless from a private individual....in which case you pay none. The below comes from the Secretary of State website.

"Snowmobiles are not titled. To transfer ownership, simply complete the back of your snowmobile registration. If your registration is damaged or lost, you may order a replacement online through ExpressSOS or at a Secretary of State office. A bill of sale with the year, make, vehicle identification number, registration number (if available) and the names and addresses of the buyer and seller may also be used to transfer ownership. An online service for ordering a replacement three-year snowmobile decal is not yet available."

So get a bill of sale, take it to the secretary of State office and register it there...trail stickers can be had at most snowmobile and ATV dealers across the state.
