The deal sounds fair, but do you really want a 72 month loan? Can you afford 60 months?
 
With a 60 month loan at least the powertrain warranty is still in effect while you're making payments.

Is it good for me to buy it in FL if I plan to move to NY ? by forester_fl

I am planning on pulling trigger to buy a forester 09 premium w/all weather package in FL. But I will move to upstate NY in a couple of weeks. I can register my car in FL right now. I was told that NY requires PZEV, which I doubt the car in FL will meet it or not.
 
Is that wise to register the car in FL and change it after I move to NY? thanks!
 
the prices difference would be around 600 bucks.

You should be able to buy a PZEV car in FL (but don't know if it might take a while to get it???) The difference in price should be $200 not $600 for the PZEV.
 
Some things to consider:
 
1. As you are moving so soon, you would lose your FL registration fee (is that significant?) When I moved to NY, they gave you something like 30 days to register your car in their state. I don't live there any more, so don't know if the rules have changed... The state I moved from didn't give me any money back...
 
2. Also to consider would be the sales tax. You would pay the sales tax to the first state you register it in.
 
3. It is possible??? that you may not have a choice...I am still waiting for the paperwork to be processed so that I can register my Subie which I bought 6/21. They give you 60 days in my state to register it. I guess that is because it takes them so long to process the paperwork.
 
4. The PZEV has 5 more HP and is cleaner! Go for it!!!

thanks! here I will pay 6% sales tax. the registration fee would be around 200dollars.
 
As I want to have a family trip with the car when I drive to NY. I really want to buy it in FL and avoid renting a car when I fly to NY. Any advice on the sales tax on a new vehicle in NY? thanks!

Is it out the door or price before before ttl? A local dealer quotes me about 100 below invoice.

As you are moving so soon, you could buy it in FL and register it in NY. No worries about your trip, either way.
 
I don't know the Sales taxes in NY anymore. Sales taxes vary a bit by location, so you could check with the town you are moving to. Where I am located now, I have to pay city, county and state sales tax. They all want their slice.
 
Off hand, it sounds like FL would be cheaper in general based on your numbers. Call the motor vehicle people in the town you would be moving to and ask them what all the charges would be. And don't forget to ask for the total cost of registering your new car, as there is also excise tax...
 
One other tidbit I found out recently...in my town, I am taxed on the MSRP of the vehicle, not the price I actually paid. They consider the MSRP the "actual value" of the vehicle. Strange, as what I paid for the vehicle should be what it is worth...

The price I got for a X limited is about 200 dollars below invoice but that is no PZEV engine. there is none PZEV in FL.
 
I understant that a non PZEV car will not be able to register in NY. Am I right?
 
I also contacted the dealer near the city I will move to. the sales tax is about 8%. but they do not have any in inventory.
 
Anyone knows if I buy a non-pzev forester in FL and then move to New York, what will happen? I will receive a ticket or has to replace the emission system to satisfy the requirement.
 
thanks!

From looking at
 
http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/register.htm#california
 
It appears that if you bought and registered the vehicle out of state then you don't need the PZEV emissions standard. You also do not pay sales tax if the vehicle was purchased out of state and you paid sales tax in that state.
 
So the factors in your decision become
 
- sales price in Florida vs New York (+PZEV vs non PZEV)
 
- sales tax in each location
 
- cost of registering in Florida and then in New York vs registering PZEV in New York just once.
 
- convenience of having a vehicle to drive to the new state.
