Shipping a truck

If you're REALLY lucky, your sales guy has a car super close to home he needs driven back to him. Who could be so lucky? Unless my PreRunner doesn't sell, then I drive it up for a trade in. If all else fails I'll fly out.

 

for any new vehicle you get a temp dealer tag. Thats is from ANY state. Just add it to your insurance before you drive off.

 

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I'm a little torn on whether to ship or fly out though. It will definitely be cheaper to fly but I will have to take a couple of days off of work. Could be a fun road trip and I would see the car before I buy.

However, paying to have it shipped just seems much simpler. I can't make up my mind. At any rate I am still happy i don't have to purchase from my local assclown dealer. The guy is so shady.

Here's a good short article on what you need to know about buying a car out of state

Bought in north Ohio and shipped to California. Personal connection got me a good deal, so do not bank on it, but mine was $900 cash. A-Plus Auto Shippers based out of Phoenix, Arizona. I like buying out of state. Helps avoid the MSRP plus market adjustment BS going on in So Cal.

 

You mind if I ask where in Ohio you bought the truck?

 

Classic Toyota in Mentor Ohio is a good dealership.

 

I only ask because I just placed an order in Ohio but with Toyota of West Ohio in Columbus.

 

Did you order through Dean?

 

Yeah I did. Was it you that suggested I use him? He's been great to work with, no BS.

 

Yes, I posted about my experience with Dean after I bought my truck. Very easy to deal with and like you said no BS! Congrats and the new truck...I'm glad everything worked out for you!

 

Thanks man. I'm excited, and now I don't feel like I'm being forced to grab my ankles for these SoCal dealers.
