AZ resident inquiry + questions...?

That definitely simplifies things, but also means I'd need to have an additional $3K - $4K of cash on hand to pay the tax man in AZ which would have otherwise been rolled into the total cost of the vehicle and loan at the time of purchase. Unless I'm misinterpreting?

I'm not sure how taxes work with loans, so maybe someone else with experience can chime in. I'm not a fan of buying vehicles on credit.

Yep. I bought my 2018 from Jim Marsh in Vegas. I currently have one on order with Granger in IA. The dealer will give you (or mail you) paperwork. You take that paperwork to the AZ MVD. They will calculate the sales tax as well as the registration fees. You will have to write them a big fat check and they will give you your plates and tag right then (at least they did back in 2018).

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the forum! I'll quickly give away my age by saying I've been a longtime fan of discussion forums well before the start of any Facebook group. LOL.

I reside in the west valley of Phoenix, AZ. I'm curious what dealerships those of you also in Arizona (or surrounding states) have utilized for your new JL order? I don't get a ton of vacation time at work so driving a new Jeep back from Florida (for example) to Arizona just isn't realistic. I'm ASSuming any shipping cost would negate the low cost / below invoice discount...?

That being said, it sounds like southwest / west coast residents are isolated to the (Tuttle) Irvine, CA dealership, correct? The other question I have is in regards to the sales tax. I've seen a concern come up a few times in various topics regarding the likelihood of paying sales tax - twice. Is this accurate? Please say no. ? I would think on a $50K vehicle, paying sales tax twice would also potentially negate any low dollar deal.

Lastly, have any of you traded in your current vehicle during these deals? I'm curious about that part of the experience, as well. Or if you're purchasing out of state, is everyone buying a one-way plane ticket?

Thanks for your time, the info and thanks for the help!

I bought my first 2 JLs out of state, had issues with my 3rd (was damaged in shipping to dealership) so ended up finding a replacement for my 3rd at Tempe Jeep. When I was ready for my 4th order I went back to Tempe as they matched the price of my 3rd out of state order that was damaged at 5% under invoice. When I tried to order my 4th they would not only not match any offer, they were 5k over MSRP. I tried all local dealers and none would go under MSRP. I ended up 6% under invoice in CO. I will always order out of state going forward.

Can you share the name of the dealer in CO? I couldn't find anyone in CO myself. Thanks

Fort collins Jeep. Andrew Crimando was the contact.

I live in Peoria and ordered from Gupton in TN. I am flying there on Wednesday after work and will spend a few days driving home. It's 24 hours of driving so easily done in three days. It will be fun and cheaper than shipping.
The dealer in Peoria was 10k over MSRP on a Sport S when I went to look. So it was easy to justify the $1k to get it home and have some fun. Gupton has financing like anyone else. To do it again I might try the dealer in Idaho others have mentioned.

To clarify, I'm assuming you're referring to the Moore dealerships and the Jeep they had priced $10K over MSRP was a new vehicle on the lot already, correct? Or are you saying if they placed a new order for you, they were intending to add an additional $10K to the MSRP of the total build? ?

Can't remember the name, just west of the 101 on Bell. They had pulled the factory stickers and put their own for every wrangler on the lot. Crazy prices. They will sell every one of them, just not to me. It wasn't worth even going in to talk to them when I ended up almost 10k under MSRP. I emailed Gupton my build sheet, had a quote the same day and sent them a $1,000 deposit.

Scott, some of the "high volume" dealers will roll the tax into the financing and cut you a separate check for that amount. It doesn't hurt to ask when getting quotes.
