I just bought a 2017 expedition in Utah, they filed Kansas Sales tax there. When I got the plate in Wichita I had to get it inspected to make sure the VIN matched and then had to pay property tax on it, which was another $500, but the sales tax had been paid.

You pay that property tax every year?

Yep, on cars, boats, houses, dirt bikes, ATVs, SXS's, trailers over 2000lbs... Gotta make up the billions that brownbackeconomics lost the state. Years of 400+ million shortfalls in your income taxes really fucks with the budget.

My local dealer informed me yesterday there will be a $15,000 dealer markup on the new Tundra.

Luckily this was through email, otherwise that poor, probably very honest, salesman would have had someone laugh in their face.

Dont worry they have plenty of people who are willing to pay it and take home your truck.

The market worked for me. Traded in a Ram 1500 for a $5K profit after driving it for 4 years. Then talked them down $2500 on a new 2500 with a really low interest rate. I did get a bit lucky because my truck was being off loaded as I showed up for my appointment and would have been sold by lunch that day. The dealer was selling trucks as fast as they could get them.

My friend bought a new truck out of state and they showed him a letter from Chevy stating the dealer needed to charge them $3K more. They couldn't because everything was signed.

I think commercial use is what drives the prices up. A guy who just wants to haul his bike around balks at a $15k mark up. But a construction worker or a plumber or a window installer will pay that extra $15k because it means he can still make his $150k that year. And the purchase will be written off anyway (so that $15k extra is really $10k extra).

I planned on a new tundra this year as they are all new. My 2012 tundra has only 85k miles… Looks like they are coming in around March? I’m down in Florida for the winter, planned on buying one down here but I”m not desperate to buy in this market, looks like I will wait another year….

I felt a little bit guilty getting my 740Li xDrive because we were initially looking for something for my wife. She had really been wanting something like a Toyota Rav4, so I started looking at them somewhat passively and the prices were way out of line for a 1-2 year old pre-owned unit. Finally saw one that was mostly loaded up but didn't have leather seats, which she didn't care about anyway. It seemed like the big demand was for the top line models and the base models, this in between one was actually reasonable comparatively. Got her a 21 with 11K miles and the CPO warranty extended out to 7/100K bumper to bumper for less than a lot of the base models were priced at to begin with.

The dealer we bought it from was extremely busy that day, so it sure looked like a lot of cars were leaving the lot.....
