Out of State Taxes
When you buy a car from out of state, where do you pay the taxes?
Example: I'm from NJ w/ a 6% sales tax rate, and I drive to VA to purchase my car.. that has a 3% sales tax. Does that mean that I can save 3% on my taxe cost?
Well worth the 300.00 trip to save 1200.00 in taxes.

About $1300 off mrsp. not bad since It was a new model and nothing was sitting on dealer lots. This is my 2nd BMW. I think the is350 is a great car, but IMO Lexus missed the boat on price. It should have been 3k cheaper and then they could have stole some BMW buyers. I love my wifes RX 330 more then I would like to admit but, BMW's are just more fun to drive! If the is was 3k cheaper and came with a 6spd man. I would have also been driving a Lexus but as soon as I heard no Man trans I ordered my E90 without even thinking of price. I am glad that I did not wait for the pricing. Good luck to all future IS owners you will have a great car!

AVALEX all they would discount is 1k off MSRP? I need something in the neighborhood of 2500 of though. You see I have a choice of flying out to Sarasota, FL or flying out to VA where my friend lives and it would actually be a worthwhile trip. But 1k off isnt worth it really. I tried emailing every dealer in VA. Two responded that they couldnt match any prices but a tad under MSRP...

Yeah, sorry man. Let me know if you can get that $2500 off (and where!). I just got my pricing this afternoon, so I can still change my mind if I find something better. However in Va it is really hard to find good deals.

I picked up my IS 350 last month for $2,500 over invoice. My car had Navi, Premium, Preferred, and 18" wheels. Most dealers in the Bay Area responded nicely to $3,000 over invoice, but I pushed a few lower.
