Need some advice guys. So I went to my local Subaru dealership and checked out a 14' WRB BRZ Limited. Basically I gave him the number I was quoted by Clint from Hueberger motors. Hes trying to tell me that purchasing the vehicle from him I would save money and would be less of a hassle.
Heres the email of the conversation between me and the salesman.
"Good Morning Kris,
Out the Door includes sales tax based on the address where you register the car plus $80 documentation fee + the Registration which is about 1.5%. You can at about ten percent to the actual price of what I quote you if you live in Fresno. There are no other charges and we can’t negotiate or change the taxes, the DMV or the Doc fee. Any dealer quoting you an out the door price is usually tax based on where they are located. That’s not how it works. The tax & DMV are a percent of the sale price. So a guy in Colorado can’t even figure what your sales tax will be now can I do it for someone in Denve.
We will have different cars in a couple months as these BRZs move out of here fast.
If you buy the 2013 in Colorado for $26,100 plus shipping costs shipping costs to here, you’ll be at least $26,500 plus whatever other charge he had on that forum post. THEN you add 8.225% sales tax which is $2180, then DMV registration which will be about $390. That is $29,070. And you will pay the DMV and sales tax in a lump sum when you register it here because the Colorado dealer can’t register it for you. Then add the 10% for registering an out-of-state car here, that is another $2,650. So you will pay $31,720 to buy the car in Colorado and register it here.
If you buy the BRZ we looked at, a 2014 Limited Blue model stock #E9602762 for $27,900 + tax ($2295) + DMV ($419) + DOC Fee ($80) then you’re only paying $30,693 and saving the hassle of getting it registered after you get it because we process all that paper work. You would save a little over $1,000.
So that’s what I was talking about. It doesn’t really matter until you’re ready to buy, I’m sure the 2013 will be gone in Colorado and we’ll have a different selection here too. One thing I hope you can see it that we are totally transparent in how we work with you. Also, I will give you the best deal possible when you’re ready. Looking forward to working with you. Have a great holiday and New Year!

Are his comments correct? What would one of you guys do if you were in my position? I have enough cash to buy outright, Im just trying to get the best deal possible.
