Looks like the '17 Cali 'Stangs are rather dear...Can I get someones opinion on right under $33k OTD for a base 2017 GT in California. Seems high with 2018s around the corner.
Nope. Florida allows me to register the car remotely, and pay ZERO sales tax as long as I do not drive it in Florida for six months. This isn't my first time doing this.
My inital registration fee is also waived.

Also, Florida has no inspection and no front license plate. LOVE Florida!

ONLY for military regarding registering an out of state titled vehicle. That was not the case when I was military decades agtherwise,if you want to register a vehicle in Florida with an out of state title,the VIN must be verified in person by a DMV agent.
As long as I can remember,there has always been a California "premium" for vehicles,whether cars or bikes.Looks like the '17 Cali 'Stangs are rather dear...
Even with the current $2,500 cash offer.

No there is only a $500 cash back on the Ford website.Is there a $750 private cash coupon available for the 2018s? I recall it was available this time of the year when I ordered my 2015 three years ago. I remember that it was a bit of a lottery play by requesting brochures in the mail.
There's also a $500 student/new graduate thing, if you're a student or graduated in the past 3 years, you're eligible.No there is only a $500 cash back on the Ford website.
Well, if you tried and failed to find anything close, then maybe.Iām looking at a new ā17 GT premium, ruby red, performance pack, nav and reverse sensing. Best I can find is 37600 otd. Is there anyone that feels like thatās to high? Iām in KY so our sales tax is 6%. I feel like I should be able to find that car for 35-36 otd. Am I being unreasonable?
Yeah I think your pretty spot on with that last part. I'm an "honest to a fault" person and I tend make the mistake of believing others are as well, which is hardly ever the case after a little research is done lol.OTD comparisons are worthless. Every State has a different sales tax rate (some none)--heck even within a State the tax rate can substantially change between counties. States have different vehicle fees or equity trade-in policies (some pretax and some post tax). Even similiar cars will often have some differences in options that can easily add another $1000 in pricing etc.
What is the MSRP of the car (and yes that includes shipping as it is on the MSRP sheet) and what are you paying for the car (before taxes, rebates--guess what, not all regions have the same incentives and different folks qualify for different incentives) is the only number that matters. You gave us not indication of the MSRP of the car nor what your price (before taxes, incentives, trade etc will be).
Lastly-- NEVER tell anyone what you paid. This, like all forums, is full of liars who will tell you they know a guy who dated their sister and first cousin (same person-most of these folks are from Arkansas) who met a guy at Dairy Queen on the 6th Tuesday of the month car show who paid $3,000 less then you did.
Find the deal you like, buy it, talk about he car and not the deal.
