In AZ, we have an interesting game. We can buy used form a private party and pay no sales tax. Then we can turn around and trade it in against a new car that does have sales tax and get sales tax relief on the trade. Crazy loop hole. I have a 3RS coming in a couple weeks. I traded my GT3 in but have about 80k I will be paying sales tax on. So looking for a trade. Problem is I have to buy for what the dealer will pay. Tough to do. Have to find someone that really wants to get rid of their car. Worse case, I'm paying 5-6k more. Not life threatening, but I just hate to pay more tax to the black hole.
I'm surprised the CPO didn't matter some. Maybe because they will CPO it themselves again and charge for it?

Yeah that's an awesome strategy. No luck here in CA w/ that. Hence all the MT plates you see running around these days.
Good to know dealer ballpark you about 80k as several dealers around here are in same range. Problem is winter :-) and a very wet SoCal one at that.
So i figured, ok, private party market with a CPO on the car should be mid 80s. As dealer will sell for 90 or so on an 80k purchase.
Its a good car so i don't mind keeping it, doesn't really cost me much to do so, its just not being enjoyed as much as it should be.

Nice car but, I grew up in LA and with many summer weekends at the Santa Monica beach, I'm paying for it now. Dermatologist wouldn't allow this! Thanks to me, maybe he can afford it........ Last ragtop was a TR250 and loved it! GLWS!

Carbs + sun = inflammation + skin cancer
Zero-carbs + sun = Vitamin D + health
It’s carbs that cause (skin) cancer, not the sun. More sun => more health, longer life. Avoid carbs, not cabriolets.

Have you considered putting it on BaT? Don't recall many Spyders there, which is a good thing. Also, with BaT, your car WILL be sold in seven days, assuming hits reserve.
I don't understand why more people aren't jumping on this one.

Good advice. But I'd wait until the first or second week of April when everyone will have spring buying fever.
