I do not know that vehicle values will change significantly after the first
of the year. You might get someone who needs to sell their Jeep now for
Christmas or one in January/February to pay Christmas bills.

I cannot comment on Arizona vehicle taxation but ANY DMV clerk would
certainly know if they were required to charge you tax when you went to
title the Jeep.

The way it works in Ohio is if I buy a vehicle in KY or IN I do not pay
their tax but I do have to pay Ohio tax when I go to title the vehicle.

As for financing...... your corner Credit Union will almost always be a
better deal than what the dealership will arrange because the charge
interest on the declining balance method.

Helping is why we are all here on RAMJ+W, or should be.

 

I have to agree with Billy Ray about the financing. You can get preapproved
from a credit union and then go shopping. Rates are almost always better
with CU.
I havent financed a vehicle any other way in over 20 years.

And when you do the Credit Union route, go in and get your loan approved
BEFORE you go shopping. Do all the paperwork in advance. When you are
ready to buy, call them with the description and the VIN number, check
ready in a couple of hours. Slick! Makes dealing at the Dealer MUCH
less painful since it looks like a cash deal to them.
