Well....he did sort of sum up how California operates, but not in such nice words. There is a premium on living in California in general; some places far more than others. Perceived value does not equal actual value. There are some who think it’s absurd to pay over 30K for any car or buy a new...
They emailed the paperwork so I could verify everything. After that, I sent the money. I called the bank to verify the account just prior. I had wired the money on a Saturday and got the physical paperwork that the following week. You may want to ask them to overnight the paperwork via FedEx...
This is fairly similar to what my invoice/contract looked like. They sent me pictures/videos of the car. I wired the money the following day. All the paperwork was sent to me overnight.
Like many on this forum, I purchased the Type R without a test drive. Reading professional and personal reviews were extremely helpful before I made my purchase. If there is one car to buy without a test drive, this would be one.
Any place that requires a credit check to test drive a used...
I decided to do a PPF and ceramic coat on my Type R. For me it came down to preserving/protecting the paint, having limited to no space to wash the car at home, less time cleaning, and ease of cleaning. Cleaning my car does not take much time or effort. Plus, I do not have to use many products...
I think the best aspect of having the money to pay for the car in full is you have options. Cash allows you to seal the deal, own the car and avoid a car loan/finance. If you decide to finance, you can adjust the down payment to your liking, which can potentially lower your monthly payment and...
That is a good point regarding the Certificate of Origin for vehicles not registered in the state of purchase prior to shipping. I can add this information above. Is there any other documents and/or tips needed for those going via Manufacturer’s Certificate/Statement of Origin (MCO/MSO)?
Hey All,
For those in California venturing out of the state to purchase a Type R, below are some helpful tips for after you have made the purchase. (@Seandingo, @MrTuckers, @TilleR or anyone else...please feel free to add additional tips or corrections).
Shipping:
The safest is enclosed...
This was the website I used. https://directconnectauto.com/
I initially went with Montway for enclosed shipping which was ~1600K. After 5 days of not picking up my car in Ohio, they called me at 6am trying to up sale me by 200-300 more. Direct connect auto picked my car up the next day and was...
Sucks you had to cancel the deal but smart move. Crazy, you have just below 800 FICO and they give you an APR of 6%. Nonsense!! They are trying to make up (more like milk money out of you) the money on the back end. As someone else stated, paying in cash would make them up the price. Them...
Agreed. Registration was not too bad. I had to drive my type r around a little before it passed the smog test. There is a way you can check to know if your car will pass the smog test. When you press the start engine button twice, you will see the engine icon to the left. If after 5-10 seconds...
I was planning to with that initially company. However, with that up sale it would have been 1.8k, and I did not like they way they went about it. The other company was still ready to pick up the car.
I used direct connect auto. I initially tried to use Montaway. However, 5 days after booking, not only had they not picked up the car, they tried to up sale me for another 2-300. Once I booked with the other company, they picked the car up on Tuesday and it was delivered on Friday.
