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[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 8:28 pmVery true. I think you'd have Cali looking into any record of a $10k 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.

Did you put the order in for the rf or regular?[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 10:13 pmYeah, the newer the car, the harder it is to fly under the taxman's radar.
The I was able to scoot through with a $5k PP sale record, though.

It's refundable.
I really want it, though.
Plan as it stands right now will be to sell the and trade the on the ND30AE. And then sell the 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.
Price?

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.troyguitar wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 1:42 pmSo much for the "we don't make colors because they don't sell" argument...Davestr wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 1:38 pm 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.

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.

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.[user not found] wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 2:51 pmColeman GMC had some Sierras Z71s in Asplundh orange when I worked at MINI; used to drive past them every morning. Pretty neat.

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
