[QUOTE="jpro, post: 16581037, member: 72690"] I just don't think I could buy a HC, Shelby, etc. from a dealer. Here is the crazy thing, in Nevada you don't pay sales tax on private party sales, and sales tax is currently 8.75% here. I have no choice but to look for cars private party. For example, I'm sure [USER=138337]@13COBRA[/USER] does his customers right, so if I wanted that orange 350 (yes, I'm still daydreaming about it) in his showroom I'd go to him, or hit him up for a 500 allocation at slightly over MSRP to cover his costs. No doubt he's the guy. But think about this...a $60K GT350 will cost me $60K if I buy it private party whereas it will cost $65,250 plus doc fees, prep fees, etc. if I buy from a dealer. Doesn't matter that I have the cash, the reason I have the cash is because I'm smart with my money and look for alternatives to save the extra dough. I know there are advantages to buying at a dealer (you can buy brand new, etc.) but on cars in the HC/Shelby/C8 price range buying a slightly used one from private party makes financial sense in my state. I've never walked into a dealer to buy a high end car but I have purchases daily drivers, family trucksters, etc. that are much less expensive and the tax hit is a little more agreeable. [/QUOTE]
