USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[allenyao09]

This is going to be incredibly specific, but has anyone experienced buying a new car then moving to a new state in 1-2 months?

My current research tells me I need to pay sales tax and registration on the state I take delivery on (CA) then I have to pay use tax and registration on the state I'm moving to (WA). Does that seem about right? Anything I'm missing?

Specifically for WA you need to own the car for more than 90 days to avoid paying use tax. Check out the link below:

Mine, along with 120 other cars, arrived on the Atlantic Star on May 26th. Looks like the Atlantic Sky is arriving in two or three days!

How is everyone finding out what ship their cars are on? Are your dealers providing you with the VIN # once the car is manufactured?

That's great - any chance if you can see if my VIN (ends RHB12906) is on there? It was "on the water" May 9th is all i know, and isn't in the list of VINs that arrived 5/13. Thanks!

I got my vin when I was at the factory.

Disregard my last post. My car is ready on Thursday! Now I have to get a ride

May see you there - I’m told that mine will be detailed, but I will likely have to collect on Thurs PM because of other commitments.

I asked how long to allow for handover and was told 3 hours!! Does that sound right?

Yea! My car is in Baltimore! WooooHooo!

Just got mine. It's fantastic! It's better than I remember from my test drive. Breaking it in is going to be painful. I'm ready to let it rev. I really love is that it is fantastic to drive without lots of the artificial theatrics that lots of the recent sports cars I've driven have. It sounds great without piped in engine noise. It steers with fantastic feel and accuracy, rather than with excessively aggressive turn in. It looks awesome without lots of artificial vents. It handles well without jarring suspension (I LOVE this. We have bumps in our local roads, and really stiff cars are scary to drive, because they get upset over them). I can see how it might not be to everyone's taste, but I really, really like it.

Some of the things I am reading about also don't seem to be a problem in my car. The brakes aren't grabby, though the pedal is firm and responsive. Also, the shifter is quite good out of the box. Might be keeping it longer than I had planned.
