alright....it doesn't sound like i'm going to be getting a fair deal here in CA. I'm going to read up on buying a car from out of state...anyone have info on this topic?
There is a thread on the ft86 club under dealer classifieds or something. Anyways you call clint and tell him you want the deal for 27 shipped but you want to upgrade to covered shipping probbaly 500 more at the most but guessing, or just detail the car when it gets here.

Yeah I talked to Clint today, and he's giving me a SCREAMING deal, but I don't know anything about the process and just want to educate myself so that i don't find myself with some crazy fee to cough up.
Fly out there and drive it back.
It'll be the best thing you ever did, and you'll get those break in miles out of the way.
If you buy it out of state you just tell them you're not from that state.
Normally dealers can take care of all the paperwork/taxes for you right there if you're from the state.
If not you just gotta go deal with it at a DMV in the state you're from.
No biggie.

Last time I did this, if you had not owned the car at least 90 days, you have to pay sales tax. That sucks, so be sure to factor that into your purchase costs. But be sure to check out the CA DMV site though.

From my understanding so far on tax, correct me if i'm wrong: The dealer will tax you at your hometown's rate, then cut you a check to pay the DMV when you get there.
I do not know as it's been a while since I brought a car in from out of state that I didn't already own. That would be nice if they did that though! If they do this a lot, they should have an answer for you.
some good read here: CA buyers: Buying your BRZ or FR-S out-of-state
Weird, I have seen at least four new Golf R's now. They look really nice, only a little different from a GTI. Last one was a charcoal grey 4door I saw on Mother's day at Big Basin in the parking lot. Manual. Totally awesome (but waaaaay too expensive). Guess I will pay more attention when I see another.
