Am I overlooking details of buying a car out of state and shipping it to myself?
Hey everyone, I am doing my best to be an informed consumer and doing a lot of research on the truck I want.
I am in New Jersey where the truck I want is listed at multiple dealers, even in Pennsylvania (which is about an hour away) anywhere between 43,000 - 44,000. Brand new
Just messing around I found the exact same truck and trim level for 36,500 in Washington. Brand new, 7 miles on it.
My goal OTD price before tax and fees in NJ would have been under $40k. Probably unrealistic because its a popular model that has been moving quick. But the truck in Washington meets that price already even factoring in an estimate of $2500 to ship it.
I am where I want to be already without even attempting to negotiate.
My biggest question is, am I overlooking anything? Any fees that would creep up with the process of buying out of state and shipping? And for the heck of it, anyone else have a similar experience? TIA
