Either way, I'm sorry that it's causing you this much grief. I wish you luck. Hope you find exactly what you want and soon.

I bought my Z06 in LA last year.

If I trade it in LA, the state gives me tax credit and I do not have to pay TT&L on the car I trade for if it is of lesser value, just paperwork to the dealership to file for my tags.

If I trade my car OUT of state, I will have to pay TT&L IN-STATE for the car I bring back.

That adds about $3500 to the 370Z. Unacceptable considering that money doesn't have to be spent, and won't go toward principal.

I was confused, too, until I spoke with the bank.

Ah, I see the rub now. Yes, that is very annoying. Any chance of getting the car transferred? I mean, it may still be additional cost, but may be less than 3500 if they're willing to do it. Still, on principle, you shouldn't have to pay a dime.

yeah, Alabama has similar laws.

Have you looked into a dealer swap? Shouldn't be too tough to negotiate.

That is what I am hoping my dealer can arrange with someone in their network. Put some pressure on them today. Will see what shakes out.

Yes, LA is one of...those...states. Weird laws.
