OP: I forgot to mention the sale tax issue when you purchase out of state. For example: I'm in Arizona where the sale tax is 9%. If you buy in Alaska where the sales tax is 0% .... when you place tags on your car .... Arizona will want to collect the entire 9%. So do do some research on the sale tax issue when you register in your state.
Seriously. Sometimes you need to look to other states for the exact car you want. It's not a big deal. Just do your research. Always use an outside PPI company rather than one recommended by the dealership. The PPI is not an extensive PPI. They measure paint thickness to make sure the car has not been resprayed. Pics of ALL scratches, blemishes, car interior, etc. etc. I paid about a $150 for this.
There really is no reason to have the dealerships look for your car.
As for @
Tcoat and @
humfrz .... they're usually very helpful, but you have to ask them questions AFTER they take their meds.
LOLOLOL.
