#950 of 1038 GG tax by avatt Sep 09, 2005 (10:39 am)
SM allready built it into the purchase order and I believe they pay it along w/import tax at customs port entry. What is your understanding of process? Also, do my #'s match your quote? Replies to this message: awax (Sep 09, 2005 1:44 pm)

Replying to: avatt (Sep 09, 2005 10:39 am) avatt,   The prices match exactly. My concern on the GG tax is that it will surprise me when I want to register the car.   Oklahoma excise tax is 3.75% of the actual purchase price paid when registering the car within on month of taking delivery. I am looking at a $3000 hit for that.   I want to ensure that I don't get hit with the GG tax at that time.

GG is a federal tax, therefore not a part of the state regis. process. My understanding is that we pay GG as a total of the P. O. As you may know, we pay 10% upfront and the rest of total purchase price to BMW of N. A. They are responsible for paying GG tax along w/import duty (import duty part of the 2150 fee we pay). Your 3.75 beats the hell out of the 9% I am looking at for regis.   I allready recieved a contact name and # for BMW NA, but was advised they will have no info until just prior to delivery in the states. I did however, contact BMW NA just prior to signing to confirm that SM and PCS R legit. They are and was told they deal w/them all the time.   Let me know if you have some other info about process Replies to this message: tpond (Sep 15, 2005 8:19 pm)

Replying to: avatt (Sep 09, 2005 2:01 pm) Avatt- I'm also using Superior Motors Military Sales -- who did you speak to to verify they were a legitimate dealer? Thanks.

AWAX:   Recieved this contact from David Baker PCS: Bettina.BK.Konitzpartner.bmw.de   Also contacted BMW, Germany via email and they also confirmed all. I am working w/Angela & Derek SM, both have been great. Derek even took the time to call me back in the states and go thru some details. Good luck!

#957 of 1038 1998 XJR by seabush Oct 21, 2005 (12:56 pm)
What's a good price to pay for a 1998 XJR with 55K miles on it? The dealer is has a list price of $21,900. I was thinking to offer around $17,400. Thoughts?
#958 of 1038 Possible purchase - 1999 XJR by xjr2b Oct 31, 2005 (8:39 am)
I have a few newbie questions on the XJR, as I am considering buying a 1999 that I found locally.   1. Any major areas of concern at around 80K miles? I'm going to have a pre-purchase check, and I'd like to ask them to focus on possible trouble areas. The car had a $1200 brake job in the last year.   2. The owner has some aftermarket wheels on it, and I would want to return to stock. The dealer says they are $500 / wheel, so I've got a local wheel shop looking for some. Are the stock wheels staggered - meaning wider in the back? Is the recommended tire size for stock 255 / 40 / 18? Any recommendations for places to look for a set in good condition?   3. How is the handling? I am going to drive it tomorrow night, but this is the one concern I have with Jags. I recently had a 2001 Audi S4, and the handling was amazing. I'm certain the jag will be different, and likely less responsive, but how does it compare to other sport sedans?   Thanks for indulging my questions. -Grady Replies to this message: habitat1 (Oct 31, 2005 9:41 am)
