Has anyone done this and been happy with the decision? I'm interested in a new Toyota and find that the dealers here are charging a premium.
Looking at dealers in PA, the inventory isn't as broad but the prices are better. |

| Yes, I’ve done this for my last two cars. Have you looked at the dealer in Annapolis and north of Baltimore? |

| I purchased a hard to find used vehicle from Texas. Video conferenced with the salesman as he showed me what he could. Bought it sight unseen otherwise. It was certified though so I really wasn’t too concerned since anything that was covered up would show up in the multiple years certified coverage. |

| Yes, shopping around yields the best results. I've purchased several cars from out of state as it offered what I was looking in selection and pricing. |

Makes sense. Everything here (lease of space, wages) is much more expensive than random PA location, so that gets passed along to the consumer. |

| How would you get it registered here? |

| I bought a new vehicle in PA a few years ago. It was pretty straightforward, I just had to go to the DMV within a week or two to have it titled and licensed and pay tax on it. There was no tax charged on the initial sale since I wasn't registering it in PA. |
