Searching for a new truck....

I stick to CarGurus generally. Within 50 miles, there are only 8 new Tundras for sale. I see one Limited CM for $55k. Oof.

If I expand to 150 mi, I can find a couple Limited CM w/ OR package for just under 46k, it they’re in a different state.

How far did you travel to buy your truck? If you bought out of state, was it a pain at all? You don’t have to pay taxes twice, do you?

Forgive my ignorance.

 

Music City/Nashville?

Check Craigslist and Cars.com and Autotrader in the following states: NC SC and Florida. SOMETIMES Atlanta will have deals.

My parents live in Nashville and have purchased vehicles from FL and AL at 1/2 the cost compared to Nashville

I am in GA and have purchased 4 vehicles from FL all cheaper than the Atlanta area.

I paid tax at my local tag office,I didn’t pay taxes twice

My parents paid tax at the tag office when they registered theirs in TN from out of stare

A round trip plane ticket is cheap insurance,when compared to the vehicle savings


My experience only applies to USED vehicles though. I’ve never purchased new

 

"half the cost"? Where's that dealer at?

 

I should clarify

i am specifically talking about used private party transactions,not dealer purchases

Also,average of about 7 years old vehicles

 

I bought mine in state, but took a one way 35 minute plane ride, a one hour bus trip to the dealership and a 6.5 hour drive home in the same day.

couldn’t find what I was looking for anywhere near home, so I expanded my search and it took a few weeks, but found what I wanted for a decent price. This was a few years ago.
