Talk me off the ledge

[sambones05]

All I was looking for is a plausible explanation. I don’t deal well with lack of information.

Some knowitalls need to gather some more facts.

1) If you were to buy a new car in Texas on 2/1 and pay your taxes and then move to PA on 3/1, PA don’t give a damn about the 8.125% you paid to Texas, you gonna pay another 6% to PA. Look it up if you don’t believe me. If you wait to title in PA until 8/1, then they’re cool with it for some reason. I’ve seen it in writing and in person when I asked the title clerk in PA last week.

2) I’ve been told by the dealer that not only the name but the address on the DL must match delivery address for them to be considered to be in compliance. So much time has expired, my home situation has changed. So, yeah it’s a compliance problem for the dealer to ship it to another address. They have to meet their percentages for compliance.

3) Obviously my concerns for rust are for down the road. A misapplied bed liner surely is at a higher risk of lasting less time than one applied correctly the first time. You can’t tell me that they are equal in quality.

You pay taxes in the state you live in when you buy the vehicle. When you move to another state you don’t pay sales tax again, you didn’t buy the car in the state you moved to, so they can’t charge you sales tax. When I moved to pa from Ohio I only paid transfer fees from one state to another.

In the case of PA, you’re dead wrong. Don’t speak about things you don’t know for sure.

I know what you say makes sense, but it’s not the fact I’m PA.

 

[sseiler]

For all the they’re giving you, I get it. It’s infuriating. The whole thing is infuriating. Man, I say stick with the order. When it arrives, buy it. Spend a few days or so driving it and contemplating whether to keep it. If you decide you don’t want it, sell it. You’re bound to get what you paid for it, at least. Heck, you could probably turn it around for a profit without too much trouble at all.

Clearly since you’re ready to bail on the order, you have another vehicle in mind. I’d just hold off until your Mav comes in.

That’s my two cents.

I am not sure I understand your entire situation, but found this regarding registering vehicles in PA from another state:

Sales Tax

If you hold a valid title issued in another state and have owned the vehicle 6 months or more before moving to Pennsylvania, you will not be required to pay any sales tax when you register your vehicle in Pennsylvania. Applicants exempt from Pennsylvania sales tax will list the appropriate Sales Tax Exemption reason code in Section I, block 1A and/or 1B on Form MV-1.

If you hold a valid title issued in another state and, have owned the vehicle less than 6 months before moving to Pennsylvania, you will need to provide proof of sales tax paid to the previous titling jurisdiction, or remit PA sales tax. Applicants entitled to a tax credit will list the appropriate tax credit amount in "Less Tax Credit" block on Form MV-1.

I always say:

If it's not the rust, it's the dry rot.

PA will give you a sales tax credit for sales taxes paid in another state as long as the state you paid them in will give a similar credit for sales tax paid in PA. The states you would not receive a credit for are: Washington DC, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, West Virginia.

You would receive a credit for sales tax paid to the state of Texas.

Some people (op) are too dramatic.

Well, it's been almost 7 months. Nothing but bad Karma since the truck was produced on 12/10. Looks like it was built on Dec 10th, went to body shop possibly for spray-in bedliner on Dec 17th, and was released from factory on Dec 20th but then went back to Body Company on the same day. Maybe on inspection they noticed a problem.

So, now, assuming that the bed liner was misapplied, I am probably looking at something which is not going to be done correctly and wind up with a rusty bed over time. That's about the only conclusion I can reach. I mean to me, in this scenario, the only correct way to fix this is to make the bed over again. Or scrap the car and do it over. You know that Ford is not going to do this.

I do not know for a fact that this is the delay, but it is the only logical conclusion.

I am thinking of pulling the plug on my order and let some hapless soul deal with the rust issue. Too much bad Karma.

In the time that it has taken to process this order, I have bought another house in another state, and no matter what, this is going to be an issue for dealer with Ford not seeing a match between the address on the order and the ship destination. Even though I am technically in two homes at the moment, there is no need for me to pay state tax in Texas to title it here and then turn around and pay again in PA where I will be moving. The only way that I get around that is to 1) not title it for 6 months in PA after titling in Texas, or 2) shipping directly to PA. PA will accept the taxes from another state as long as you have owned the car a minimum of 6 months.

And before you ask, yes I called Ford Customer Relations. They were unwilling to inform me on anything beyond what I already know.

Right now the alleged delivery date to dealer is around 2/9. I don't see it happening. It's going to sit there in the Mexican desert until the seating is all dry rotted out. It is not dealer's fault, but another in a run of reasons why I should know better than to order a new model in the first year of the model. I always preach to people to wait until Ford works out the kinks. I didn't listen to my own advice and now I am paying for it.

Call Chapman in Horsham

I’m not starting an argument, I live on Pittsburgh and brought 2 car’s here when I moved from Ohio. I did not pay sales tax again in pa. I DO KNOW FOR SURE.

 

[Barracuda340]

Nah. Don't like the seats.

Yup a lot of money for seats that arent even leather. They are pleather.

Having leather/pleather seats in FL is a study in masochism. It's always so much FUN to peel a layer of skin off tieback of your legs every time you try and get out of leather seats.

All will go well. On February 10th you will be having a stiff drink, and sitting outside in the cold, watching frost appear on the windshield.

OP is misreading or not understanding. As other have said, and posted, if you buy a vehicle in another state, and can prove you paid at least 6% sales tax in that state, PA will not charge you a dime. If you live in and buy a car in Texas, then move to PA, you do not have to pay sales tax again. Only registration, title, notary fees. And of course emission and inspection…

 

[OSRAlyssa]

Wtf.

The body shop manager probably also got in trouble and took it out on your truck by loosening some bolts. Also, the dealership is definitely going to try charging you more. And it goes without saying that the shipping paperwork will be altered so that it gets delivered to some border town where it will be graffiti'd.

Jesus. This rant reminds me of conversations with my methed-out neighbor.

I should have read this comment before I waste my time reading the OP.
