This is largely done with higher priced cars because of how much you save by doing this...
You're going to be driving around on Montana plates. You could be given a lot of hell if your driver's license shows residence in state X when you're pulled.

I'm not saying I'd do it, nor anything about someone getting harassed or not - just what/why someone registers in Montana.

- (4) GT4 allocations available, MSRP. Two May, one June, one July.

- (2) Turbo S Cabriolet (992) MSRP. Two July

- (3) Taycan 4S (immediate order placement ability, no wait outside of COVID) MSRP. Two April, One May.


- (1) Taycan Turbo (immediate order placement ability, no wait outside of COVID) MSRP. One May.

Any discounts/ extra perks on Spyder or GT4?
Sold my 997 relatively easily , without even an ad. Now on the prowl for my next ride.
Spyder vs a 991.2 Targa/ cab GTS.
PM me if you have anything to offer. Another friend also in need of a Spyder.

It was a collective you to further emphasize the point of why it's not entirely advisable.

Saving taxes would be nice, in Canada there are some pretty big differences between provinces, but not much you can do to avoid it on a new car, they all watch for this!

Still amazed that you guys don't have tighter controls on plates and insurance in the US, as soon as you move you are supposed to change this, and when you renew your insurance you must change this, the plates in Canada expire when your insurance does and IIRC all jurisdictions have nice big decals that have the day/month/year of expiration, and the best part, without an insurance renewal there is no new decal for the plate!

You're supposed to change it here too. States have a window of time (90 days, 6 months, a year, whatever). However, if you can receive mail in a state, all bets are off. DMVs have wised up and require proof of address when titling but not necessarily for renewed registrations. It varies significantly. The Montana thing lets you register a car as owned by an LLC with a PO box or physical address for service that takes care of this for you. Since it's an LLC, there's no proof needed.

That covers the title but what insurance, it appears that there are many states that don't enforce this as a requirement!?

insurance and registration state must match. Again, proving it once and so forth. Just don’t wreck your car and need repairs.

So am I reading the right, they check it once at time of sale and never again? So you can drive around uninsured?

That was in reference to getting insurance in the first place. Once you get insurance, you can renew ad nauseum without proof of residence. I've never once been asked for proof of residence even with updated insurance quotes. Everything is moving digital too so other than initial packet, you get all your insurance cards on your phone.

You can definitely drive around without insurance though. NC for example mandates uninsured/underinsured coverage. There's enough people who don't have insurance that it becomes a problem. Police here do look up your insurance during a traffic stop and depending on the state that could be a fine + short license suspension or registration suspension (NC it's 30 days registration suspension, other states, 6 months or a year). Very few states will impound your car. If you do it enough, you will get a criminal record so there's that. If your registration is suspended, you could hop in your friends uninsured car and keep driving. Here's a state by state breakdown:

Not really. You could say you have a ranch in Montana and that is where this car is primarily kept.

This morning I was offered four GT4s and four Spyders that others walked away from.

Please feel free to send me a PM if you are still looking for one.

Quite a bit of that going around.
I am actively in the market, as I’ve sold my ride, but feel foolish to pay full sticker (without much else).
If anyone wants to offer even low single digit discounts (on Spyder), let me know. Marginally Lower profit is better than none. Stagnant inventory or allocations help no one.
It is definitely a buyer’s market now, whether you like it or not!
