Buying a car in Florida

We are thinking of going to Florida for up to 6 months at some point in the not too distant future. I guess that the cheapest way to have a car over there for that length of time would be to buy a second hand one and then sell it before we leave.

I have no idea how to go about this process - does anyone have any experience of doing this?

Some questions...

Can you use a British licence for that long?
Do they have car tax like us
Do cars need an MOT
Do you add tax on to the purchase cost or is it 0% because it is second hand

I think I have read somewhere that the licence plates are assigned to a driver (not the car), if so how does that work?

Thanks in advance for any answers.
