I have bought many vehicles out of state (20 years in the military). You will pay the sales tax to the state that you register the vehicle in at a minimum. When I bought my Harley 6 years ago in FL the dealer would not sell me the bike unless I paid FL sales tax, even though I showed him on the web site of my home state that I would be paying the sales tax there. That was the only time I ever paid the sales tax at the point of purchase when I bought out of state. At the time Harleys were tough to find so I agreed because I wanted the bike.
 
All you need to get when you buy out of state are the certificate of origin (or manufacturer's title), the odometer statement, and the bill of sale. A temp tag to get you home would be wise as well. That is all you need to take to the DMV to get the car registered in your state and they will charge you the sales tax at that time if you haven't paid it yet. IF you do pay sales tax in the other state, they will probably still charge you either the difference (if any), or the full amount and then tell you to go get a refund from the first state for what you paid there.

I bought my RTS a few weeks back from a Honda dealer in Fairfax VA for $26,300 flat
Except for taxes and tags.
In fact I had bought an RT a week earlier for $24,000 but because the front seat was so uncomfortable the dealer just upgraded me to the RTS for $2,300.. Well worth the upgrade, the seats are so better as well as the extras that really make a difference. the only thing that is not worth much to me is the 6 cd changer, does not play MP3's which in this day and age is dumb and there is no aux jack or easy way to add one... I am going to upgrade it to an Aftermarket Nav system later, other than that I LOVE THIS SUT....
The dealer was very helpful and there was very little to no haggling for the price.
I will be buying from this dealer for a long time to come..
 
Little advice don’t bother with any of the extras at the dealers, you can buy everything on line much cheaper and put it in or on yourself
Honda did a very good job with this SUT as far as adding aftermarket parts and how easy it really is, They have very well written PDFs on line to show you how to do stuff before you buy. and as you are installing
 
Gas on this SUT could be better and I am hopping to be getting better gas mileage as the SUT gets broken in, after the first tank of gas I got 15 + miles to the gallon, and I have been driving this SUT very lightly.
First fill up was at 280 mile and I put 18.5 gallons in, and that was me topping of the last .5…..

Ridgeline RTL w/ Moonroof by slim6370

Hi, 1st time posting here, but I would like to thank all the others who have posted here and on the other Ridgeline forums. It has helped me a great deal. I just bought a Ridgeline RTL w/ Moonroof yesterday in Massachusetts. I think I got a great price....only took one phone call. I went to the dealer, picked out a color, did the paperwork and was on the way home in 3 hours with the new vehicle
 
I paid 27,998 and got special financing from AHFC (4.9%)that started yesterday and runs through 11/21/05 I believe. The dealer charged a 298.00 doc fee, plus the standard sales tax, license plate and registration fee.
 
I even negotiated my trade in over the phone(2003 Honda Accord LX) and had no problems when I got there. I was in the business office 10 minutes max with no pressure to buy all the usual add-ons (extended warranty, etc). Smoothest car transaction I have ever done.

$28k for an RTL/sunroof---Great deal, $5000+ off right?
I guess dealer gave up all markup from MSRP
all hold back
all incentives
 
I guess they did make the $300 doc fee.
Enjoy you got a deal.
Was the trade in well below NADA loan value?

Yes, 5,000+ off MSRP. I got 13,500 which is below NADA, but right on Edmund's....it did need some minor repair for scratches in the rear quarter....I was hapy getting that....no complaints. I was treated very nicely.... I hope they make a few bucks off the trade.

I live in Eastern NC (coastal) and would like to know the name of your salesman. I am in the Military, retiring early next and would like to hook up with him and buy an RTS for that deal. It would be worth the drive!

According to Carsdirect.com I should be able to score a RTL with Moonroof for $29,110. Is this a good target price? Has anyone done better?
