Thanks it's been a long day hammering this out. I do have to get it shipped. Enclosed transport is like 1k. I might register all the stuff myself at the DMV and save a few hundred bucks to offset the shipping. Either way I feel good about things
Check with your dealer. Most stores charge a flat fee for tags as they wouldn't know the exact charge. After they process the tag work and get the actual cost, they refund the difference back to the customer.

If that's the case, you'll get back $206, if they have that policy. Check your paperwork as some stores have you sign a "permission slip" which authorizes them to file on your behalf, and they usually give you a copy.

will pay attention when everything is signed.

biggest thing now is deciding on shipping. ive never had a car shipped before. the dealer wants to send their own guy down to me with the Z on a flat bed for like $1200. I got reference from one of my best GTR friends about a enclosed carrier that transports her cars and she says he is great. he is at $1100 and said I would have the car same day. dealer feels better about the first option as they said they have had incidents in the past with 3rd party pick ups. I got a few weeks to figure that out. I found some cheap quotes of like $600 but not sure I trust it as its probably with multiple other cars. first two options are single cars.

I'd rather pay a working class person decent money to deliver my car than just give it to some greedy dealership markup.

Good on you!

Yeah this car is 466 miles away so a little under a 8 hour drive for whoever does it. After they dealers have been about this car and the feeling I got on my gut when I got an email saying the exact car i want is 20k over MSRP you damn right I'm paying someone to haul it down vs paying mark up.

Looks like you did pretty well based on the current car market. Where did you end up finding your car? I like the blue one in Statesville, but for us, it has to be a manual. I'm going to enjoy every last second shifting gears until they tell me I can't :).

that is probably similar to what the dealer is offering to drive it down on per their description. If I go that route would have to tarp it or something

blue one in Statesville sold that same day I went up there. I posted it here and a big facebook group when I got home and the salesman texted me and thanked me for the sale that next day. found the car up in Lima Ohio.

All you need is cloth in the wind rubbing against the paint...

Yeah I thought of that after I typed it lol. Maybe I should have them keep the shipping wrap on it? I got a a few days to figure it out

Well, this is depressing.

Anyone else in SoCal looking? Any luck?
