Cheapskate question

Just for instance: If one wishes to purchase an RV located out of state, would it be possible to purchase contingent on the condition that it is delivered (1) not in the state where located, and (2) in an adjacent state, so that one could pay the taxes/registration only in one's own state?

Unless the dealer is really desperate for a sale, I can't imagine they'd deliver it out of state, unless it is a really short drive. If you are willing to pay for them to deliver it, they might be more open to it.

We bought our Motorhome in NJ, while we lived in GA. Hadn't planned to buy while in NJ, it just worked out that way. We financed the MH. Our salesman asked us what GA's sales tax was and who we pay our vehicle registration to. When we closed, they gave us a check made out to our County's Tax Commissioner in the amount of the sales tax. He told us that if we were paying cash, they wouldn't have even charged us Sales Tax, just let GA collect it. He said the bank wanted proof that we paid Sales Tax.

When we went to register it, we gave the tax collector the check. They charged us a few dollars extra because NJ does not charge sales tax on Document and Licensing Fees, but GA does.
