One of the main reasons I want to buy out of CA, is that I'm looking for a very specific used 2011, and it's very unlikely that I can find it in any one state. I'm even having trouble finding it anywhere across the US at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

You will pay the difference if not the full amount CA his one of the highest tax rates. And registration fees for example that was a $337 registration bill i just paid...and a yearly cost. So you would pay all this plus your NY taxes/registration.

What is so specific about the 2011 your looking at? Your going to spend more money to buy it and move the car then it is worth. Im pretty sure you could find one here in CA.

I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to be there are more 370Zs here in CA than just about anywhere else, so you might have higher chances of finding the specific car you're looking for here. Just a guess...

And, yeah - what's so specific about the Z you're trying to buy? Just curious...

I'm looking for a 370z in gun metallic exterior with persimmon leather, sports package. The sports package is easy to find, but the color combination is near impossible. I found one in the Chicago area, and it's the only I've found looking at over 1000 2011s. Persimmon leather interior, in general, seems to be pretty rare.

I'm moving out to Cali for work, and my new company is paying for a full relocation, which includes a car shipment. So, that's no a a big issue. The taxes thing does scare me though, but from what I've heard you only need to pay extra if the car has under 7500 miles on it.
