Making Ze Sense.... But that would in return fk me on the cali side, since I'll have to pay the full taxes since it would have a bill of sale from the :dillerman: @ the actual price. :gaydance:
Very true. I think you'd have Cali looking into any record of a $10k :jeep: purchase, doe.

I recently had NJ come after me when I bought the Colorado, because they didn't realize I had traded a vehicle in towards it. States aren't playing very dumb anymore.
Oh wow... I haven’t PP in about 4 years. Last 2 were lease transfers, 1 dillerman, and 1 pp (m3) which it worked on

Yeah, the newer the car, the harder it is to fly under the taxman's radar.

The :meata: I was able to scoot through with a $5k PP sale record, though.
Did you put the order in for the rf or regular?

You'd piss me off by ignoring my reasonable comment and plunging yourself into epic debt :notsure: that makes any sense but :doit: for the lulz... I think its a great car...
I reserved a spot.

It's refundable.

I really want it, though.

Plan as it stands right now will be to sell the :meata: and trade the :jeep: on the ND30AE. And then sell the :jeep: to Max through work. Everything goes down in June.

I'll just need to figure out the daily driver situation. Probably the new Mazda3 - and lease it.
A bit late to the party now but :dafuq:

Would be seriously interested this summer when your 30th gets here if neither one of those two wants it.

Just hours ago we told you about the Racing Orange MX-5 that Mazda debuted ahead of its official display at the Chicago Auto Show, and it’s already sold out. Only four hours after the deposit book opened, each and every one was accounted for.

Colorado got an Orange color similar to the Miata this year. It was supposed to be just for 6 months, but the sales were so high I got it to stick around for the year. It's still doing strong enough that the color might continue for another year.

It's really frustrating to hear OEMs say colors don't sell when there's direct evidence otherwise. It's highly dependent on the vehicle and the segment, but it can certainly work.

Coleman GMC had some Sierras Z71s in Asplundh orange when I worked at MINI; used to drive past them every morning. Pretty neat.
When a paint line is switched over to run a fleet color, dealers can squeak an order or two in for retail sales. The Whorange Sierras were neat. I remember seeing photos somewhere.

F series is starting to become a joke. So much of that “premium” brand yet such shitty stigma for those that think I buy cars for that is a fool. These cars are a joke to many
