Buying a vehicle out of state?

[ray1970]

So, might be buying a new vehicle out of state.

Haven?t done that before.

How does it all play out with taxes and whatever?

I know some of you have done this.

Thanks.

A new vehicle? They should just be able to ship it to a dealership here, which will simplify things quite a bit.

Yes. New.

I hadn?t thought about shipping it here. I found it at a dealership in Texas very close to my mother?s house and thought maybe I would just fly down, buy it, see my mom for a few days and then drive it home.

I brought in a used vehicle from Oregon (no sales tax state) paid taxes just like I bought it here.

You may have to take it to a vehicle inspection site run by the local PD. They will verify the VIN and give you the documents to give to the DMV.
I had to do that for a used truck I bought in TX back in 2017.

Any emissions site should be able to do the VIN confirmation.... but as long as it has TX plates just keep those on it until they expire... nobody cares anymore, we're having multiple shootings and stabbings daily and drug addicts are running amok, TX plates are fine.

So did Oregon collect the taxes at the time of the sale or did you have to pay the taxes here in Colorado when you titled it and registered it?

It’s easy RayRay- tell them where you will be titling/registering it and they will send the documents to them. Pay the sales tax at time of purchase and it will be credited on your Colorado registration/plates. At worst you may have to have the dealer complete a “Taxes Paid” document and that will need to go with your documents for title.
It’s a worthy discussion to have with the dealer before you go down there- make sure they know what to do.
You shouldn’t need a VIN inspection as the vehicle is brand new and has not been previously titled.
Have your financing arranged in advance- make sure the lender is good doing business with an out of state dealer.
Its Boulder County but it’s a worthwhile checklist-https://assets.bouldercounty.gov/wp-...-checklist.pdf
Or just register it at mom’s- lord knows there are enough Texas plates up here.

Go see your Mom

It’s easy RayRay....

Thank you all.

Been almost two years since I?ve seen my mom in person. Probably should go soon regardless of the vehicle purchase situation.

I did reach out to the dealership to check on availability of the particular vehicle that I am looking for. If it isn?t already allocated to someone I will inquire more about my out of state purchase.
