Replying to: mike274 (Apr 09, 2008 1:11 pm) On a purchase an out of state dealer should not charge you any tax at all. The exception would be if the dealer was in a border state and was used to collecting your state's tax and has a tax ID in your state to pay it in. In cases where you want / need to finance the taxes you may can get the dealer to roll your state's taxes unto the deal and cut you (your state's DMV) a check for the taxes to pay. Then you take the MSO from the dealer along with the check for the taxes and register your car.   A lease is a little different because most states charge tax on the payment and any cap cost reduction, but each lease bank has a tax ID for the states they operate in so they can add it to your payment each month.   I have purchased and leased a lot of cars from out of state dealers and they all just sent me a limited power of attorney to title the car along with the MSO/MCO and in some cases a tax check.   There could be some states that collect taxes from non-residents on a purchase, but I would think this would be pretty rare and could lead to you being double taxes.   Dennis Replies to this message: mike274 (Apr 10, 2008 6:01 am)

#10986 of 11506 New Buyer by mwest75 Apr 10, 2008 (10:01 am)
Hi folks, I'm a prospective new buyer. My wife and I are seriously looking into the Pilot as a replacement for her '03 convertible Mustang. I'm learning a good bit from all of the previous posts but also it raises a few questions. First some basics: I live north of Atlanta, GA. I've used the internet/email method to purchase an '05 Accord in late '04 so I'm relatively experienced with this process. Closed that deal with Hennessey in Woodstock. Currently looking at Pilot EX-L AWD w/RES. Has anyone from my general area had any recent experience that they might be able to share with me? I'm not great with face to face negotiations but I imagine that the marketing support $2500/$3500 or even $4500 is only available in the dealership correct? Additionally, there has been some debate about whether the below invoice amount is still available when the APR deal is given. Is this correct or can one still get the $3500 & 2.9% APR? Any kind of specifics (#'s wise) that any of you can provide would be very helpful. Thanks ahead of time for any replies both in my area or not!

Replying to: mwest75 (Apr 10, 2008 10:01 am) I purchased in the Baltimore area, an EX-L Nav without the financing incentive. I received multiple quotes, all of the quotes I received were into the dealer hold back i.e. on a dealer invoice of $32,905 including destination, all quotes were less than this figure minus the cash to dealer incentive of $3,500. If the Atlanta market is similar to the market here, I would hope you could purchase an EX-L RES for less than dealer invoice w/dest. of $32,363 minus the $3,500 incentive for a deal without the financing incentive. That comes out to $28,863 plus TTL. Replies to this message: mwest75 (Apr 10, 2008 12:58 pm) manypilots (Apr 10, 2008 1:16 pm) manypilots (Apr 10, 2008 1:20 pm)
#10988 of 11506 Looking at a 2005 EXL Pilot with RES... by rbennett99 Apr 10, 2008 (11:22 am)
about 48K miles, leather, moon roof, 4WD in Indianapolis. Dealer price is $21,998, but I'm hoping to get the price down in the $19K range. Anyone have any insight or thoughts on this? Am I being realistic?   Trade value is $14-16K PP is $18-20K Sugg Ret is $24   Any feedback is welcome! Thanks.

Replying to: manypilots (Apr 10, 2008 11:21 am) Thanks very much manypilots! I appreciate the feedback. Doing the basic numbers on edmunds.com gives me $30,022 as the TMV price. If I were to pull the $3500 incentive, I'm looking at $26,522. Obviously this is before tax, tag & title. Does this sound accurate to you? As well, do you foresee a $4500 incentive late Spring/Summer? Replies to this message: manypilots (Apr 10, 2008 1:16 pm) manypilots (Apr 10, 2008 1:20 pm)

Replying to: mwest75 (Apr 10, 2008 12:58 pm) I wish I could answer the increasing incentive question, but I don't have a clue. I guess it all depends on if the current incentives pare down '08 inventory enough. If you wait there is a small chance you may get a better deal, but you may not get the color you want, if I were to guess. Ridgeline incentive is at $4,500 on certain models, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Pilot will get that low. I have a feeling that inventory is getting scarcer on selected trim levels. For instance, at the dealer I bought from, there were 10 EX-L Navs in stock when I started looking 12 days ago, now he is down to just 2.

Replying to: mwest75 (Apr 10, 2008 10:01 am) My wife and I got her new Pilot from Hennessy back in January and the price was down into the hold back. We worked with someone in the "Internet sales department", shoot me an e-mail for more info or just use the price request form on their web page. They have a high "doc" fee but the net price of the Pilot, destination, and fee was under invoice less the dealer money at that time.   The $3,500 incentive drops to $2,500 if you use the cheap money, but for most folks (that need financing) this still nets out a cheaper payment than taking the extra $1,000 and financing via your bank or credit union. Check with your loan sources to get your rate before deciding.   Dennis

Replying to: mwest75 (Apr 10, 2008 12:58 pm) No, pull the $3,500 from the dealer invoice, not the TMV, so your estimate for a price will be higher. Anything at $3,500 below dealer invoice, and you are getting into the so-called "dealer holdback".
#10993 of 11506 Looking to purchase an 08 VP this weekend in AZ by phyne Apr 12, 2008 (1:13 pm)
While I was getting my oil changed on my 07 Civic Hybrid, I test drove an 08 Pilot. I liked it. I am trading in an 04 Toyota Sienna van. The offers I am getting via email are from 23,300 to 23,700. After reading this board for hours, it looks like I should get it for $22,500ish. $24,950 (invoice) less the $2500 dealer cash. Of course here in AZ all the dealers have an inflated $369 doc fee, which is ridiculous. Does $22,500 sound like a good offer for a 2wd VP? Thanks for any help.
