Replying to: sgloon (Aug 04, 2008 9:29 pm) 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!

Replying to: forester_fl (Aug 05, 2008 4:03 am)  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...

Replying to: sgloon (Aug 05, 2008 8:17 am) 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!

Replying to: forester_fl (Aug 05, 2008 9:20 am) 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.

| ... about registering out of state, just before moving.. If they think you are trying to avoid NYS sales taxes, you may have a problem.. | |

Thanks guys for all your response. Actually this vehicle might drive in both NY and FL as my wife and kids will stay in FL whenn I work in NY. And I will keep my FL residence. I do not intend to avoid 8% tax in NY. We contacted the dealers there but they cann not have one in their inventory. So I just pulled the trigger this afternoon and get the 09 forester, limited version, auto transmission with the following options: rear bumper cover, all weather mats, Auto dim mirror with compass and homelink, and puddle light kit. the color is green. The price is 25000+1500 tax + 198 tag +398 dealer fee. The dealer also give us a full tank gas. But I donot what service special the dealer usually offer. Any inputs? The premium version sells very well in FL too. The dealer we talked have no inventory. So we go for limited version. Thanks again for all your help!

Replying to: forester_fl (Aug 05, 2008 2:19 pm) I think you got a good price and supply is short, so you were lucky, in a way. A few of us had to order a car and wait several weeks. Limiteds are awesome, don't look back! The perforated leather is nice and you will find a lot of other little extras you may not have seen at first. |
