It was easy really, settled on a price over the phone..they overnighted me papers I signed them and overnighted them back. The biggest hassle was Michigan requires a "bill of sale" and the contract wasnt good enough, so I had to get them to fax me a "bill of sale" and all was good. I used Reliable carriers, expensive but soooo worth it. We use them at GM so I have seen the kind of care that is given. These dudes are always used by Barrett jackson and the like too. Enclosed transporter and the works treatment, the driver(s) take huge care of the cars, and chances are there will be something else fancy onboard to look at, mine had a C2 stingray on it. The biggest hangup with out of state is the taxes, NY will want theirs. Be sure to check your local laws, but most states will allow the selling state to roll the taxes into your bill. SO when you go to the DMV you show proof on the contract that the charged taxes are indeed NY taxes and not TX. I had to seriously draw it out for the lady here and do the multiplication for her to prove it was MI tax and not TX tax.
All in all, it was easy...
Edit: here is my thread. I made the phone call on my birthday Feb 4th-landed in MI the 14th. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=483688 |
Thanks for the information. I'm still a little turned off on the idea to pay another $1500 for shipping. In NY we get crushed on taxes- 8%.
I actually just sent an email to my local GM dealer (pretty big and lots of sports cars) to ask if they can trade or transfer CPO cars from other GM dealers. Anyone know if this is possible? I also told them what exactly i'm looking for and price. I feel like im running out of time in finding 5gen's..PRESSURE is on!
thanks!
