No sunroof?? I like to have all the goodies.. especially if you are worried about resale.. There is always one person that wants it that way... but no sunroof? That will be a hard sell. regards, kyfdx

but around here, you are required to pay the Dealer's sales tax, if you are going to drive the car off that dealer's lot. If you do not want to pay the dealer's sales tax, then you must have the car shipped, or driven, to you. If the dealer delivers it within his own state, then he is responsible for collecting sales tax, at his rate. We recently bought a Lexus for my wife from California. Since that CA dealer's tax rate was the same as here in Phoenix, and because Arizona and California have a recipricity (sp?) agreement, we paid their sales tax when we picked up the car. We were given a temporary registration tag to drive it back here to Arizona. When we registered the car here, we showed them our paperwork, including the sales tax we had paid in California. Hence, we did not need to pay any additional sales tax when we registered it. Hopefully, drddo will get a good deal locally, so that he can avoid the extra trip(s) to his local DMV office. In our case, we tried all 3 Lexus dealers here in Arizona, and none of them could match southern California's pricing on the new RX330. Even after I forwarded a solid price quote from a California dealer to my local dealer, the local dealer couldn't come close to matching it. All told, I saved about $1500 by purchasing out of state. |

Replying to: cotmc (May 12, 2004 8:29 pm) I'm surprised that Arizona would give up the sales tax revenue to another state on such a large purchase. I myself bought a car in Illinois just last December, and paid only for a temporary tag. regards, kyfdx

Replying to: drddo (May 12, 2004 12:31 pm) You definitely have to go with the Steel Blue, though. I had my car parked for a few minutes at Bavarian the other day while getting something at the parts counter. Someone was out in their lot shopping 3's. They had quite a few on the lot and they were ALL either black, white, silver, or gray. When I got back to my car the potential customer and salesman were there and the guy was admiring my color combo and asking the salesman why they didn't have some like it on their lot!
