OP you need to know what the laws of that state are. As a CA resident you will be paying the taxes and registration when you bring the unit down to the dmv for vin verification. Some states require a dealer to collect the taxes and reg no matter what. In other cases the dealer can deliver out of their state and avoid this requirement. In your case figure out taxes and reg cost, deduct this from the total amount you want to pay, and make the offer. You are confusing OTD numbers here. All you should be paying is the price of the unit. Everything else is on you at the DMV office.
I remember years ago(20+) of hearing the stories of "welcome to Ca fee" for registering an out of state vehicle.
This RV Company is a factory direct sells to Customer , you would think that they what know what they are doing then ? But apparently not.
Yes I blame myself for part of the situation BUT I'm putting more blame on them for not forthcoming with actual facts on the registration part.
I feel like it was say whatever to make a sale and then let the chips fall where they did...
I will go online and make an appointment at the local DMV and see what they have to say about the Registration and taxes..
Then call and talk with the owner...
Thanks for the replies ...
