Looking to buy

perfectnobody

hi guys, i am a New Jersey resident and i wanted to know whats been your experience buying out of state with regards to paper work and stuff.

is it easier to just buy within the state you reside in, or is there no difference if lets say i buy in another state (lets say NY or PA). i only ask because, i want to be able to go to a dealer, give him all my info, come back in couple of days and pick up the car with title, license plate and everything done. (i'll take care of insurance myself, of course) but was wondering what are the realistic expectations i should have concerning paperwork.

if these services are not offered by dealerships, let me know as well, or if there are hidden fees, or if its actually just easier to get all this done myself.

thanks!

If you buy in your home state, the dealer will do everything for you (for a fee, of course). If you buy out-of-state, you will get a temp registration from that state so you can drive the vehicle home. Then, you can go and spend some quality time with your local friendly DMV clerk.

And if you bought in-state, your dealer can give you a temp registration and plates. A new registration will arrive in the mail in a few days. (At least in CT). If you have mandatory insurance laws (doesn't everybody at this point?) and you give your agent the VIN, they can fax an insurance card to the dealer and you'll drive off the lot the same day.

surprisingly, our local DMV Mount laurel. NJ are actually pretty friendly, and there are hardly any lines most time's. the most i have spent there is 30 minutes, but i have never done any car stuff, just my license.

either way, i'd still prefer to just have the dealership handle all that, but thanks for the heads up

i believe this will be over this month (correct me if i am wrong), but has anyone been able to take advantage of any deals or incentive's regarding this while's this promo has been going on for the purchase of a Z?

anyone know of any black Friday deals happening that apply to Z's.

just curious, i am real close to becoming a Z and trying not to miss out on any deals happening around this time of the year.

the one dealership i went to said the nissan promo's did not apply to the Z's (370zsteve, there were no great deals that's y i did not post anything), but i was confused since the promo said A to Z.

does anyone have any info on this?

perfectnobody

just realized that the A to Z is actually from Friday the 27th till Monday the 30th

let the search for the best deal begin

i might be a Z owner very soon

UPDATE:
on the official Nissan website, says sale will end Jan 4th 2010

It's an "A to Z" promo but no special deals on the Z. Marketing fail!

1,649 - nissan extended warranty 6 years, 100,000 miles
99 - processing fee
118 - title

$31,555 - total (will have to pay taxes later)

only thing is i have to drive down to maryland

here is the car

also, the guy run my credit (after i was hesitant) and said i beat their usual rate of 7% and higher that they usually give, giving me 6. something, forget exactly, but said i could get a lower rate with another credit union.

he also said if you run your credit check multiple times in 2 weeks, it counts as one check.

can anyone confirm this as well. my credit is very precious to me...lol

any insight will be appreciated. also, anyone have experience with carmax before?

thanks.

also, whats a good company for insurance?

There's a Touring/Sport on eBay for $34,150 "buy it now", I think. For comparison purposes.

That car is no longer available, are you sure it had a Sport pckg? sounds a little too cheap. 6 yr 100 k warranty we can do for 1420!

perfectnobody

you know i really wanted to buy from you Joe, but 1300 dollar diff is way too much to pass by.

went to carmax today, took a look at the car, it only had 10 miles on the odo (from people test driving), red, sports package, mats and splash guard, with spare tires and everything.

signed for it right there. opted out of the additional 1600 for extended warranty. car plus all fees were below 30k. got 6.75 financing (hope to pay off entire loan in 6 months anyway, so doesn't bother me much, they told me i could get it cheaper with my bank or credit union)

car is parked in the drive way as i type.... beautiful.

i guess i'll not get to test drive that GTR

the car was unavailable because they held it for me. and now its home...

the search for the Z has ended, and the drive of a lifetime about to begin.

thanks to all for the info.

I am now a Z
