So warranty till next march, sounds like a jaguar extended warranty is still 3rd party thing. So if there's no factory extended option possible, anyone familiar with extended warranty companies that arn't shit? Not sure if something thru like Hagerty would be appropriate.
Relevant? =P

Can't really watch donut after they got big and lost most of the purification staff. Content mostly by the numbers mass made.

It’s a non-supercharged 6, but point made. Not the most exciting.
Even worse, I never even heard of a non supercharged option unless some maniac unbolted one they bought. Other than the body, which even that's ruined with the different exhaust, they would be right many other cars that would make like 250hp but weight way less that would be smarter. But funny timing at least.

Was trying to find that Clarkson video where they baja some sports cars, but I dont think it's available just on youtube.

Cross posted White Collar Crime question. Accountant in training wife is spazzing out about the out of state private car purchase. Saying that I'm going to get fucked by tax twice.

In her case, she'd bought a car at a dealer out of state and had it shipped from california. CA went after her wanting the sales tax and she had to fill out some form stating the car will never visit the state for the next X years.

Local tag agency (like private DMV's it's wierd) said I just need any old BOS and title, doesn't even need to be a notorized BOS for some reason. They also tax off declared sale value rather than appraised.

Seller was willing write it under by 10k to save me a few bucks and essentially cover travel expenses since I only talked him down 1500. She's assuming Texas would know from a private sale and try and get double dipped sales tax. I think she only had an issue because buying from a dealer who had certain reporting. However her counterpoint is if I'm going there to buy it then that is the Point of sale.
Technically true I suppose, but I just wonder what are the chances the state would have any idea or want to investigate so deeply to try and prove I didnt buy the car off him over the border. Or that I completed the sale online/whatever and would care that I then drove it back or know if it was shipped or not etc. I think my biggest hangup that I don't know how easily they could investigate is that plan was to pull a cashiers check from my bank in front of him so he knows it had funds.

Basically is my wife a Karen, or is the IRS going to get my dog. #taxationistheft and Oklahoma sure as fuck doesn't maintain it's roads from that money.

What does the IRS have to do with sales taxes? Most states don't change at point of sale for vehicles, it's at registration for this reason (though there are exceptions). Either way individuals aren't responsible for sales tax, that's why states also have use tax (lol who pays that). Either way that's dumb.

Well, it depends. If you buy a car out of state from a dealer, they may roll the tax of your resident state into the sale and it’s done. However, if you buy out of state private party (and in state private party) you then have to go to your county tax assessor to register the car and pay the tax (this is a Texas discussion).

I’ve done both several times. My word and the bill of sale has been accepted every time at the county.

you will NOT pay tax twice. California is a piece of shit and lies every chance they can and uses scare tactics. Ignore them.

I didn't mean literally the IRS, just any old .gov

What your saying makes sense to me, or else I think I would have seen more people advising not to buy out of state for the risks of getting double taxed. She just had a bad experience because California going to california.

I've bought three cars from different states than the one I was residing in and while they were a while ago now, I don't remember doing anything different than what I did for a in state purchase. Go to the proper government building, pay a tax, send some paperwork and the old signed title in, with the old owners name on it, then get a new title back with yours on it some weeks later. One thing I recall is that on one car, in Houston, I had to pay tax on the blue book value (or what ever they were using), even though I payed something like 30% below that, but I don't know what triggered that assessment.

CA has very messed up car tax laws.

Most other places you just pay the registering state taxes- some dealers will do it for you, some you do at time of registering.

So I got some Dr Color chip because one rock chip I know was painted with BMW factory touch up paint and it looks bad. God damn the Dr Color chip gets it right. Very happy with this purchase.

Trying to shop cheaper than state farm insurance. USAA everyone raves ohh soo much cheaper etc. Nah not particularly close even w/ worse coverage and tried adding 2nd vehicle. Adding home would start to get kinda close but last I saw the home rates were awful.

Just going through quotes is so exhausting, but I guess get used to it, as I'm already doing a lot of legwork soon when my damn expired credit card replacement arrives and I have to start fixing auto drafts on a bunch of shit.,

Guess more of a jimmy rustle, but maybe someone will have a good place to try before I start going down the list of everyone major I can think of.

Independent broker does all the shopping for you and the insurance company pays their commission, not you.

Bumfuck Oklahoma, so I have so far experienced not trusting about 80% of folks I deal with to do their job right. But worth a shot.

So far State Farm as I said still best rate, and further, I'm relooking at bundling house w/ them. We had openly which was supposed to be bougie (sp?) higher dollar property limited pool insurance. I checked mortgage, their yearly premium is up over the state farm quote from 2 years ago. So going to see how they compare and if bundling that drops the cars enough. The first go around the difference was so big that it wouldn't have saved anything.

These days you have to bundle everything together to get the maximum discounts. You won't see the final price until you bundle home and car and umbrella and get the bundle discounts applied.
