Rather than plying things open yourself, it would behoove you to take it to get a proper PPI immediately.

Yes absolutely, it's the first stop once the vehicle falls into my hand. Nothing wrong with trying to gain access to the coolant reservoir to check levels.

Where do you live with $8k in taxes??

Gus_Smedstad

Looks like 5.5% State tax, which is kind of middle of the road, 2.7% state and county, which is a bit more unusual, and 2% property tax. While a lot of states have property taxes on vehicles, I don't think I've ever seen it charged at the time of sale. It's something they hit you with after a year of ownership, typically.

I was curious if I could deduce the city from the taxes, but no luck. The reference I found didn't show any cities with precisely that combination. For example, Phoenix has 2.7 local taxes, but 6% state taxes, so the total would have been 0.5% higher.

The car is for sale in Tolleson, a small suburb of Phoenix. The city tax is 2.5% which is a little higher than other parts of town. I realized I could have saved 1% if I had transferred the car to the Gilbert location.

I paid up front for 1 year registration giving me a total of 15 months.

Most states charge auto sales tax on your actual home/registration location, not the actual purchase location. Is AZ different? If you buy out of state, do you avoid tax altogether?

In Colorado for example, it doesn't matter where i purchase a car from, or even out of state. Whom collects the tax differs, but the State and County where you are registering always get their cut...

Colorado also has a hefty 'ownership tax'. Added to registration every year but very front end loaded. It starts off as 2.1% of 'taxable value' (essentially sticker price, not purchase price) year 1, and tapers to .45% of original taxable value every year 5-8.

Just to put that in context, on a new $125K Porsche, in the County of Denver in Colorado you would pay the state, county, city, and RTD tax of 7.72%, the ownership tax of 2.1%, PLUS all the regular registration fees of several hundred dollars.... Over $12K in taxes, year one!

Even second year, you will pay 1.5% ownership tax, or another $1,900 in ownership tax, plus actual registration costs.

The state and county make FAR more money on new car sales than any dealership

The great commonwealth of Virginia has a annual personal property tax on vehicles...4.15%. When I called to register my 2018 T4 GTS...the young lady on the phone laughed...It didn't sway me for one minute in my purchase...just the cost of doing business and living in a certain area...

IMO - THIS ONE IS HOT.

Priced well - certified - 50th anniversary.

Priced accordingly with an accident. No accident like a $120-$124K car. If a keeper, a great price if damage was minimal. It is a CPO too.

Whenever I see a lower than average price, I ask what is the catch?

Was at this dealership last weekend. I did not see this car. I will say that even though I don't like red interior, this particular shade of red looks fantastic!
