California dealers must collect sales tax for any new car that is delivered in the state... To waive the sales tax, the car has to be shipped or delivered across state lines...
 
At least that is what we always hear... I don't think that the unavailability of the car in Washington has anything to do with it.

CA Tax for out of state by seven20p
Mar 14, 2008 (12:00 am)

I just talked to a dealer this evening and I would receive 10 day temp registration for car being shipped to NC from Bay area. 55 doc fee. Very straight forward. I didnt ask about fly in/drive home as I wont be doing that from CA to NC, however in NJ that situation was 3% tax to NC and drive home. They had a service included in the 129 doc fee that would complete the tax payment to NCDMV for that option.
 
CA has the price I want, NJ has the colors I want.
 
Decisions....all 08s. I havent seen any 07s from the dealers I spoke with.

FYI, I visited a DOL office this afternoon. If I were to buy a new car in California, I pay Cal sales tax (around 8%?) and present the purchase agreement showing that amount which is then deducted from the Washington State tax of 9.2% (really!) and pay the difference. No easy way around that one.
I have been on telephone with a dealer in Clovis (he went the extra mile and actually pulled up all the 2007's in the State for me by the color I wanted), but after reading the thread, am tempted to check out Petaluma or go web shopping. This website has been helpful in justifying to my spouse why I think a trip to CA is worth it. I bought a Prius the first year it was out, loved it but now Seattle is infested with them. Time for a change!
Thanks to all who contributed for the extra info about packages and prices.

Just bought an 07 Altima Hybrid. Ready to Join the Club by customervalued

Just picked up an 07 Altima Hybrid with Convenience Package ($27025 Retail Invoice) for $23800 not including rebate or tax in upstate NY. Decided to take advantage of the 2.9% apr instead of the rebate. Wondering what is the best price paid for an extended warranty.
 
To check inventory go to nissanusa.com click current offers on the bottom then on the left hand side menu click search inventory. Select your zip and then distance, choose dealership then altima. When the picture comes up click on Hybrid as the body style. This shows you the inventory of that particular dealership.

I just purchased two (2) NAH's last week. For one got gold plus extended warranty, 6 years, 75k miles $50 deductible for $1356, and, for the second vehicle 5 years, 100k miles $50 deductible for $1400. I supposed you can purchase the extended warranty from any dealer, not necessarily the one you purchased the vehicle from.
 
We could have gotten around the same deal you did but because 08 pricing just about the same at 07 prices, the only difference was $250 on the rebate between the 07 and 08, made no sense to get an 07. Kind of surprised you would not take the rebate instead, if you credit is good real easy to get a load of around 3.99 percent. For the slight difference between 2.9 and 3.9% the additional cost no where near the $1250 rebate. Plus by taking the rebate, you would save another few bucks by saving sales tax on that amount.

Good point about the interest. Didnt think I would get anything close to 2.9 since the national average is hovering over 6%. We dont pick up the vehicle and til Tuesday. Perhaps I might qualify for a better rate. Thanks

Everyone's financial situation is different. I have really good credit. On the first NAH I purchased went with my line of credit from Sovereign Bank. Recently opened a new line of credit that charges 1% less than prime, so that would not be 5%. As I am planning on paying back just the $15,000 I borrowed, the difference for a 24 month loan between 5% and 3.99 that the dealer offered was only about $9 per month less. However, since the loan on my line of credit was actually on my home equity line of credit the and that interest is tax deductible it came out to just about be a wash. For the second vehicle I purchased went with 3.99 % for 24 months.
 
If you have good credit consider using equity line of credit if you have one. For the $1500 rebate you are forfeiting, I think you could get a loan for maybe even up to 6% & still save. Just use a mortgage calculator & plug in the amount you need to finance with and without the rebate, and you will see what I mean. Even better savings if you use line of credit as that interest would be tax deductible. Don't forget, you will probably get the $2350 Tax credit next year. If you could hang on to a line of credit loan when you get that money next year you could plunk it right down to the balance on your equity loan.
 
Good luck, whatever you decide

State Tax Credit by emgr

You should also check your home state to see if they have a rebate program if you buy a hybrid. In PA they do and sent me a check for $500. I know many states have programs. Some are more than PA some are tax credits against state taxes. Just check out your states program
