Had my oil changed at Loveland Ford a couple of weeks ago- while I was waiting I was walking the lot eyeballing everything. 2024 F350 Limited for $96k.
That’s $30k more than we paid for our first house.
The kicker was on a Loveland Ford letterhead that was hand written in black magic marker taped to the inside of the windshield:
“Northern Colorado Market Adjustment +$10,000”
Fuck you

I would love to see franchise laws demolished so that you could buy direct from the manufacturer. No dealer traps or scams.
I see no reason why you can't today other than dealers bribe politicians to keep the franchise laws. If Tesla can sell direct to consumer, so should every manufacturer.
Selling dealer should be able to easily handle this.
We have a few large online forums that buy from 2-3 high volume CJDR dealers at HUGE discounts and they all handle the resident state taxation issue with ease.
I ended up factory ordering my last truck through AN at a big discount, but if I were buying again it would be Mark Dodge in LA, or Granger CJDR in IA if the local dealers didn't want to play.
You can also do factory extended warranties at big discounts if you shop around.
Probably could have gotten that vehicle for 4-5-6% under invoice at a large volume dealership that doesn't play games to win.Quote:

If I recall, I did NOT pay sales tax but had to sign a statement that I was taking the vehicle out of state. I did have to pay for the temporary Utah registration.
Since I paid for the truck in full, they sent the paperwork to me a few weeks later. I ended up having to get a VIN inspection and because it was over a certain weight, I had to get a certified weight which I did at a scale in Sheridan. I believe they also did the VIN verification at the scale.
Took all that paperwork to the County Clerk's office (Jeffco) and registered/Titled it.
Just got a text from the sales guy the other day saying the vehicle is still scheduled to arrive around the third week of July. I told him when it hits his lot and he lays eyes on it to let me know and we can iron out the details.
I think my bank has some sort of limit on the amount of money that I can wire in a day so I?ll either have to find a workaround for that or maybe pay with a cashiers check.
My insurance is dragging their feet about contacting me about the hail damage estimate on my wife?s car so I might have to light a fire under them so I can see what my options are for dealing with her current vehicle.
See if you can pay via ACH rather than wire. I just bought a replacement (out of state) for my fun car a couple of months ago and was thinking I'd have to pay for wire transfers when I noticed I could pay via ACH and avoid the transfer fees (and limits).Quote:
