My local dealer showed a new FiST in stock, so I popped by to find out that it didn't exist, and none of the salespersons knew what a FiST was, and asked me flat out "why would you want that for?" Death to car dealers imo

Night Danger Moose posted:Its posts like these that make me think I would be an awesome car salesperson because I still somehow give a drat about people and like making them happy. But then I realize I'd make a terrible car salesperson because I won't lie and swindle to make sure I meet some arbitrary sales numbers. I always remind myself, when I find myself grinding my teeth at a dealer, that there is a retired athlete or rich guy's son who funds their yachts and cocaine from this place. There is zero altruism in a dealership, they are not representatives of the OEM. Its an investment only and everyone who works there is incentivized to squeeze every dollar out of anyone who walks in the door.

When I drove one it was the only one they had, and they wondered why I was interested in it, like I got strange looks. The car was loving filthy like it hadn't been washed in months. It must have been parked in a gravel lot because there was gravel dust all over it, the floors and interior were dirty, it seriously looked liked a used car and it was obvious they didn't give a poo poo about it. And the funny thing is i called ahead the day before so they knew I was coming to see it so you think they would bother to clean the loving thing. I'm sure they figured they would just up sell me into something else anyway.

I got transferred 3 times! Then back to the first person. Jesus. They want me to use their in house financing and kept steering the conversation back to that. I won't buy a car that isn't through my credit union so I guess I'll have to fly out there and pay cash if i want that one.

You should be able to go ahead and get financed and take a cashier's check with you to buy the car. Just have to be very clear with the dealer, that whatever deal you agree on over the phone/email needs to be final and you need a definite out the door number. They do this all the time with other dealerships, don't let them act like it's a big deal.

I'm actually unable to fly and drive which is why I'm so salty about their attitude. It's fine, there's plenty out there, I just jumped on the first cheap one with the miles and options i wanted. I'll keep looking. Might be a good thing as my wife really wanted me to wait and only reluctantly agreed to this. Edit: I have 14 other viable options bookmarked right now.

I'll give VW this: they understand why the GTI and Golf R are desirable and seem to love selling them. Not a single person in a VW dealership would ever say something like "GTI? Why do you want one of those?" And once I was committed to a Golf R, you better believe they didn't try to change my mind and move me into anything else.

There's a part of me that regrets not ordering a custom color Golf R. The dealer here said I could have one, and there's an Irish Green and Viper Green Golf R that go to a local C&C that look awesome. Although the guy who got the Irish Green one seems to regret getting a Golf R in the first place.

The one in WA isn't happening. The internet sales person was more pleasant to speak to and was totally fine with my own financing but he kept insisting that taxes were a part of the sale which is bullshit, I pay the tax here in Indiana when I register the drat car. He said I was mistaken and wouldn't budge on that so I'm done trying to buy that one.

I didn't disbelieve you! But that car hit the sweet spot of color, miles and seats. I'm in no hurry to pay tax on a car twice. Sadly most of the other ones that hit the spot have those orange seats so I'll just bide my time for now.

BraveUlysses posted:i already told you that dealer fuckin sucks bro According to that link, only a few states are even eligible for the sales tax refund, and Illinois isn't one of them? Fake edit - the states on that list don't charge taxes on vehicle sales. That's why they're eligible for a refund, otherwise WA dealers would be at a disadvantage selling to anyone in those states. I'm pretty sure that you're obligated to pay the local sales tax, but you can show the receipt of tax paid to the DMV and you won't have to pay your state tax, just registration and road use tax. Well, unless their tax is lower than your states tax... In that case I think you're obligated to pay the difference. Earlier this year I got a title on a trailer that had never been titled, still had the Certificate of Origin from the manufacturer (SC doesn't require plates and doesn't tax trailers so there's a ton of trailers with none or missing/never titled). The DMV rep first told me I'd need proof of sales tax paid (in 1989 mind you) on the initial sale, but ended up accepting an affidavit from the dealer stating that they are SC licensed and collect tax on all sales.

The dealer I bought my Miata from tried the same thing, I told them it was incorrect and that unpaid the sales tax when I registered the car and they immediately backed off and agreed. I told this dealer that and they insisted that wasn't correct. So yeah, done. I'll find one closer to home.

https://www2.illinois.gov/rev/individuals/Pages/cars.aspxYour state DMV posted:What if I purchase or lease a vehicle from an out-of-state dealer, lending institution, leasing company, or other retailer? Like, don't get mad. I'm not trying to be right just to prove you wrong, but if you buy from a dealer who isn't registered to pay Illinois motor vehicle sales tax, you're gonna run in to this. I just want you to get FiSTed ok

You don't collect taxes on a vehicle sold to someone out of state unless they physically come to pick it up. Means that if someone buys a car off a lot in Florida but elects to have it shipped, they don't pay Florida taxes. If they come pick it up though then they must pay taxes and they get reimbursement in whatever state they register it if needed. As far as I know that's how all states are as it's just assumed someone somewhere is collecting the taxes. Source: Am a registered dealer in Florida and don't read DMV websites for fun

I guess I wasn't clear that I wouldn't be buying this in person. I don't have enough free vacation days to fly out to WA and drive back. Have bought four cars from across state lines in the past and all have been trucked in, sales tax was paid at the dmv.

Paid it when I registered at home. The dealer wanted to charge me the tax, I said no, I'll pay it at registration, and we were done. Same thing with my wife's car we bought from MD (wherein dealers are not allowed to sell cars on Sundays bc Jesus).

Sounds pretty much like what I've experienced. I guess there is a waiver you can present if it's in certain states that shows you paid the taxes already but that's excessive work. FiST-having dealer sent me two more messages, the second saying they have in person interest in the car so LoL, we'll see where we stand in a week.
