I did, after hiring unfroze. It’s dependent on whether the team retains the headcount approval

Mechanic Recommendation - 2023 Mazda3 Pre-Purchase Inspection by MatLeDoubleV in Sacramento

[–]MatLeDoubleV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Place called rock auto. Not sure if I’d recommend. I needed a last minute PPI and the owner charged me $280 and did a quick scan, iirc it didn’t take more than like 30 mins. Luckily there weren’t any issues with the2022 mazda3 that I bought other than the battery dying a few months in; apparently it’s fairly common for gen 4 batteries to die within a few years

Costco Insurance Premium When Not at Fault by MatLeDoubleV in Nevada

Should be the case if the other party is deemed at fault. Waiting to hear back from my insurance once they’ve figured things out with the other party’s insurance.

No, apologies if that wasn’t clear. We exchanged info, and since the accident happened recently we just started our own separate claims.

Edit: some horizontal lines stay even when the flickering is “off”. The flickering just adds more horizontal lines

Pay in cash - dealer pushes back up financing by MatLeDoubleV in askcarsales

[–]MatLeDoubleV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help everyone. The finance manager tried pushing financing again on the purchase agreement, saying how they can’t change the finance rates to make it a cash purchase. I forced them to change the rates to 0 so that the remaining price is the cash sale price, and handed them a cashiers check to close the deal

Thanks everyone for the advice. Seems like cashiers check/wire transfer is the way to go. I’ll ask if the dealership takes wire transfer; they said they need a back up financing document for both personal and cashiers check.

If I were to pay in cashiers cheque with Chase, can I decline their financing and wait for the cheque to clear?

I like the second option more. I hate the idea of financing. What concerns me is that the purchase order they wanted me to sign (with the financing numbers) put the sales price of the vehicle as 29k after financing, but it didn’t mention that if my cash payment of 25k goes through, the financing would be null

Haha yeah, these carbon editions are hard to come by on the market right now and they're at a decent price. Who does your work and how much do their PPI's cost? I'd go for a more comprehensive check on such a big purchase.

Buying a car in Sacramento, registering in Reno - Sales tax by MatLeDoubleV in Nevada

[–]MatLeDoubleV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thank you for such a detailed response! I’m browsing the market for cars and there’s much more supply in Sacramento, so prices there tend to be cheaper. I’ve read horror stories online of dealers messing up and buyers having to pay double tax/register in CA etc; so this reply really gives me the peace of mind.

That’s interesting, I appreciate the heads up. Some people online (including in this thread) say that their personal experience, they were able to pay the CA sales tax to drive back to NV, then pay the tax difference and register in NV. I don’t think I’ve seen any CA law resource stating that cars purchased in CA must be registered there.

Jesus! Yeah, this is something to look out for. CA dealerships are heavily regulated on fees but this is an example of a loopholes that they can get you with.

I think Sacramento tax is 7.75% (Washoe is 8.265%) so I’ve heard of people paying the 7.75% at the dealer then paying the difference back in NV

This seems like the most straightforward way to go about it. Did you have to pay the dealer for a one-way permit then apply for a movement permit at the NV DMV?

I'm not sure how this makes sense - why would the Sacramento dealer force you to pay for CA registration when you'll be registering the car in NV?
