If worse comes to worse, I might have to go for Clint's offer.
Break-in period would be so fun!

You can not beat internet prices unless you golf with the dealer. I got mine in WA just over invoice, which helps a LOT with sales tax rape here.
When I bought my SRT-4, I got it in Germany from the PX dealer just over invoice as well, tax-free, and paid no use tax when I got my California plates. I forget what the time requirement is now, but you might be able to pull the same thing if you buy in Oregon and keep it registered out of state for 1-3 years.

Some forum member in this thread mentioned this. My dad told me the same thing as well! Thanks!

However, if I chose to pick the car up and drive it home, I could have had it about a week before I left for vacation. That was about 2 weeks ago lol
No beef on Clint or the dealership, just didn't realize the wait that would be involved when getting the car shipped.

Will take your advice man! No shipping for me. Driving home would be fun since it will be also my break-in period. Thanks!

When my mother decided to buy a new car 2 years ago, my brother and I did the same thing. We walked out, dealership called us the following day with agreeing with our offer. LOL!

(Focus ST is a great car too, I was super impressed with it, but its no BRZ/FRS)
Time to read up on the "how to register a out of state car in California" links in this thread, thanks for that btw  |
Clint's still has the best offer after calling and checking out dealerships.
I really don't know how he does it, but none of the dealerships I called and checked out cannot match Clint's offer.
