I got a manual transmission. Is the CA taxes on the difference in value, or the total price?
 
KS is only difference and that was worth almost a thousand verses my 04X where the trade in was not much. I didn't know that at first. That made quite a difference for me in my final decision about trade in value and the final financing amount as I kept wondering where the catch was in the deal. It was almost like money down.

Thanks, kavoom, for info.
 
I am in MD with 5% for car sales price.
 
I think the trade-in value will only be applied to the overall price after the tax, not before, same as the $500 customer cash. In other words, our trade-in will not bring in any tax benefit to us, although when we bought it, we did pay tax on the car.
 
Additionally, dealership processing fee and/or additional options to the car, such as accessories and extended warranty, will be taxed as well.

California, unlike Nevada and other states, applies the tax to the full retail price. If you renewed your registration two days before you trade it in, you will get zero credit for it. You will pay the full price on registration for the new vehicle as well.

Ouch, but Kansas gets you on the other side. My property taxes for one year are going to be up toward 400. At least those are deductible.
 
Oh and my 5,000 buck pop up camper is around 400 also. Can you say Luxury tax??? I cringe at the thought of a big RV... Unfortunately, in Kansas there is little industry so the govt. has to get it from the citizen's hides. The only good thing I have ever seen re: KS taxes is that "difference" tax vs. total price.

Don't even bother pulling that property tax deal on someone who owns property in California still. Even Oregon doesn't have as high of property tax as California.

They get you coming, going, sitting standing.
 
Of interest. See what you get in Australia... Subaru.com.au
 
You get load leveling struts on everything and they have low high range manual transmissions. Really interesting is that they have accessories we don't. Only 45,000...of their bucks. And a 300 lb for tongue weight... Grrr, I want that stuff.

Invoice on a CA-spec X Premium w/AT is $23,834, minus $500 rebate (assuming it's the same in CA as here in WA) is $23,334. So if there are no options on the car, it looks like they're selling for $350 under invoice. I think that's a good deal. Not sure what the current factory-to-dealer incentives are on '07s, so you may be able to do a little better, but probably not by more than a couple hundred bucks.
 
I'll put my guess in - I bet you'd be out the door at about $26,250.

I`m just awaiting delivery of my Forester. This is my first Subaru and i`m very excited at the prospect.
Accessories in the UK are few and far between. In addition, the cost is right out of line. Does anyone know of a dealer who ships to uk?
Regards , from Scotland

In east coast, Wilkins Subaru and many other dealerships (except Herb Gordon) in MD-DC-VA region may provide much better price in high probability.
