Raptor Dealers Selling Near Invoice

[WyoStorm]

I know of quite a few az/nv people who have bought in CA but had the keys turned over at the border. Probably not practical from as far inland as you are buying. Others may have other ideas.

so my 2014 raptor should be here in the next few weeks and my dealer just informed me I had to pay CA sales tax on the car eventhough I'm not registering/titling the car in CA... I would be title/registering the car in NV and have purchased cars from CA dealers w/o any issues.

Dealer is stating FORD won't allow them to sale the truck to out of state buyers and I have to pay the CA sales tax... I know they are dicking with me so I can back out of the sale so the can sale it for more but any ideas how I should pursue this? The difference if I register in NV vs CA is about $3500...

If you buy from a CA dealer you have to pay CA tax... unless you have it shipped out of CA. You can't take delivery in CA. At least that's my understanding.

I've purchased many cars from Cali and understand the rules. Car has to be shipped out of CA and a bill of lading needs to be provided to the dealer so their asses are covered. All taxes and reg are paid to the state the car will be physically in, which mine is NV.

My only issue is that Morgan Hill doesn't want to and won't allow me to pay for my raptor unless I pay the Cali taxes. which is ridiculous since it won't be registered in CA. I called Ford, ca DMV, and nv DMV and basically they are stating its up to the dealer...

Nice way to F a buyer after waiting 6-7 months since they know it won't be a loss on them either way. If I back out of the sale they'll be able to sale it for a lot more than invoice...

I just ordered on from Morgan Hill as well. From what I understand, I will pay CA sales tax as they will not deliver it to NV. But licensing/registration will be done in NV. I bought a Tundra from CA and it was the same way. I paid CA tax and they gave me a one day "moving permit" so I could take it across the border and register it NV. Based on the cost of my truck NV tax (7.725) vs CA (8.75) tax is only about $600 difference.

I don't think they can make you license the vehicle in CA if you live in NV.

I purchased a Hummer H! Alfa from CA and only paid Floridas tax, not CA!

What's the difference between "invoice" and " MSRP"?

 

[The Car Stereo Company]

invoice- what a dealer pays, before any discounts they are owed.
msrp- well, we all know what that is.

 

[Baddoug]

Ok, thanks for the info. Guess I didn't get a "great" deal. I paid sticker price but that was better than most dealers in my area that are charging $2000-$5000 over the sticker price. Anyway I probably would've paid "whatever" to get my RAPTOR!! Haha.
