Buying Out of Resident State

[WatchRich]

Sorry if this is covered, there are 40 pages in the Buying section, I searched - "out of state" "cross state" didnt see what looking for. I have never bought out of state before.

As I look each day on failcat for exactly what I am looking for, I see a few pop up that match. I know when see it that I should call the dealer and see if its claimed/customer order. So my questions are assuming its unclaimed...
1) Do you guys go to that dealership and buy or buy via phone/email, assuming its more than 300 miles away?
2) If you call and dealer says its available, do you give a deposit to hold it, assuming will take couple days to either get there or work out details? If yes, is that refundable?
3) Do you drive it home or ship it? Not sure want to put that much stress driving on brand new engine.
4) What if you wanted to trade in your current car? Does it matter if that is registered in diff state? Of course if doing this, assume have to drive to dealership so that would answer #1 above.
5) How do taxes work? Would you pay taxes in state you buy or the dealer doesnt charge you tax but your state does when register?
6) Do they give you a temp plate that will be allowed to drive cross state?
7) Any states you would avoid buying from, states not dealerships? Ex maybe would buy from LA because vehicles might of been thru hurricanes/floods.

Anything else I am not thinking of? Like I said never bought out of state before.

Thanks

Using the search tool, this is what I came up with. There are more

Out of state taxes, title, registration

Hey folks, looks like I'll be getting a Telluride from out of state. I've never done that before, can anyone give me a rundown of what exactly is involved. I'm in Virginia, dealer is in Colorado. VA's DMV site is semi helpful but I want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.

Out of state purchase

I purchased in TX but live in NM. The total sale was more than cost of car so I know I paid some taxes. I don’t currently have access to the paperwork but it just hit me. Do I have to pay taxes again when I register it? @StephenCantrelle ? Can you help? I have to register soon. I sent you...

Out of state purchase

Sorry if this has been asked but I need a specific answer. I have never purchase a new car or out of state. My initial price sheet breakdown from the dealership I'm working with includes taxes and registration fees in which I assumed from my state. But when I spoke to a different associate this...

Tips for buying out of state

We are hoping to buy an SX AWD at the end of the month and it looks like we might have to travel a little bit to get one. I am fine with that because I really don't want to pay an astronomical price over MSRP. I have never bought a car in such a high demand/low inventory. What types of tips can...

This is going to be very dependent on you, the dealer, and the state. 1) Up to you but probably phone and email. 2) Yes on deposit, depends on the dealer whether refundable 3) up to you 4) Depends on you, the dealer, the state 4)I dont know this but the dealer will know how their state works. 5) depends on the state 6) yes 7) no

1 and 2) Call and place deposit over the phone. If they have the car available they should hold it for you. If you're like a lot of us, and you're ordering you'll get a receipt of your deposit and depending on the waitlist, possibly a Kdealer order number.
3) Up to you. I had initially planned on shipping mine since I was expecting to be picking up in the middle of winter and didn't feel like driving it back in the snow. I lucked into an earlier ETA so I'll be driving it back. There's instructions in the manual on breaking in the engine. Follow those on the drive back and you should be fine.
4) Trade in would be up to you. I'm giving my trade in to a family member so I can't speak to the process.
5)Ask the dealership if they can collect state taxes for you. I'm buying in Colorado but the dealership will be collecting California taxes for me.
6) If you're driving the car back, let the dealership know. The dealership should provide you a temporary operating permit for you to drive the vehicle back.
7) Shouldn't apply since most Tellurides don't sit on lots long enough for any damage to occur. If there was any significant damage to the vehicle (like a hurricane) odds are the dealership took damage too and would be closed.

If you're driving the vehicle back, get the VIN from the dealership and add it to your insurance policy so you're covered on the drive back.

On #3, back when I worked for a living, I had a ton of frequent flier miles. So I always flew to the closest airport, got picked up there, and drove home. Worked many times.

Some deposit and agreement on price is a must. You do NOT want to arrive and start negotiating then. They will have you at a huge disadvantage.

I got my temporary tag from the local DMV. Note, they are not typically valid in other states. But your bill of sale is valid of course. I just didn't want to be pulled over. I did get pulled over once, had a temporary tag from Florida and I was in GA at the time. Cop wanted to know why I had a FL temporary. "Because I bought it in Florida." No ticket, just a reminder to get a GA tag.
