I'm signing all my paperwork there but they had to gain my trust before I offered them my personal info and deposit (YMMV). They simply wouldn't go below MSRP for the trim/color I wanted otherwise I would have used that savings to ship the car here.
They are charging me my local city/state tax there but frankly i'm expecting there to be some "issues" at the DMV trying to reconcile this. I'm going to get as much paperwork as I can while i'm there at the dealer.
The SMOG issue is REALLY quite annoying. All the BRZs sold in the US are CA spec! This car is 50 state legal not some 49 state legal diesel. Goodness...

Yeah, they can sometimes charge your local tax, they can also charge THEIR local tax, which gets put toward the CA tax when you register. I chose not to pay any tax when I purchased it because I knew it would be easy to pay the DMV directly.
As for smog...I know, super lame. I couldn't really find any definite info whether or not a NEW out of state car needed it. But when I went into the DMV they said their computer said it needed one and wouldn't let me continue without it. So I put my BRAND NEW CAR on a damn roller dyno smog test. LOL.
