The Porsche dealer buys my Macan, and that becomes my trade-in for the 340 so I avoid paying sales tax. Technically I guess they need to buy the Macan from Darien and I need to get the full funds passed through - with a check for the difference.
We will see... Threesomes can get complicated. |

Yeah, my assumption is that you trade in the Macan to Darien, but with an understanding that Porsche will then buy it from them. In other news (just to crap up your thread) what a crock of shit it is that trade ins avoid sales tax but private sales don't. It's a big fat tax incentive for sleazy middleman stealerships. |

I felt a strong similarity to the e46 M3, in terms of size, general tightness of the steering (especially coming from an f10) and of course better power and ride. Quote:
I'm thinking Saturday for the ceremonies but not set in stone yet. Might wait till March/April to sell the 5 - if I can let go of it. There are good reasons to not rush (winter tires, spare and roof rack in hand e.g.). I really should do the deed when the time comes, but I always have trouble parting with cars I've kept more than two years. The 5's are big girls with big hearts. The two dealers have to figure out exact order/logistics. I have some ideas on how it should work, but I'm not going to dictate as long as we are set on numbers. First indication from the selling BMW dealer was that they may want the Macan in person at their shop for the pass through. Stupid, but perhaps them are the rules. Porsche dealer is simpler, they'll cut a check when they get a car. I'd like to avoid going to CT first, then down to NY LI, back up to CT and all that to/from NJ. That would be a tiring day worst case. Oh well, I guess I could do it for $2400 in tax savings. |
