When I purchased my Jeep, I tried to find the best deal. Thank goodness for Excel spreadsheets so that I could keep track and properly price shop! I ended up ordering out of state as I was able to get 7% below invoice, and it was still the best deal factoring in the car carrier charges. They were able to handle the DMV fees, CA sales tax, etc. While the vehicle sat at their lot, I had a tint shop do my windows as then I paid about half the cost than doing it locally (I live in the Bay Area). I'm hoping that the lower cost of purchase is reflected in my annual registration fees as well. If I found a dealer who was a couple of % or more below invoice and they had the CA Clean Fuel Reward of $1500, that would have been better a better deal.
I also lucked out in my timing as shortly after my order was placed, the invoice cost went up. So, my advice is to shop three or four dealers with below invoice pricing and offer the Clean Fuel Reward, then pull the trigger ASAP with inflation, chip shortages, etc. I can see the price increasing again.
