Buying out of state

[GTZ3315]

I was torn between blue and green when i chose mine. The blue looks real good. I feel like everyone got white black and grey and other grey. Do yourself a favor and check your hood height drop point, there's a service bulletin to fix the slamming issue where you just turn the rubber stopped a bit. Also check above your driver tail light, recently they are all coming with chipped paint right above the driver tail light.

Yeah I love the blue that was my first choice, its kind of the Ford performance color so got to love it.

Thanks for the tips I did check those issues and mine looks good in that respect. All the body panels look to line up well, no wind noise and hood closes normal and looks honestly better lined up than my other car. That being said there is a couple issues, the back seat back latch is definitely suspect, I got it to latch now so I won't mess with it and will have the dealer look at it next time, I hear the middle head rest is poorly designed and is stopping it though so I guess that's a fix lol.

The most annoying thing though is of the about 10 times I have got and started the truck so far like 4 times the infotainment screen completely froze once it loaded and would not show any cameras or anything, a few times I just tuned it off and back on and it was fine. This last time when I turned the car off the screen was stuck on, I had to literally wait until the battery saver finally cut off the screen to turn the car back on and get it to work, probably about 3 minutes of just sitting waiting to back out of my driveway. Honestly my bronco sport has frozen before too but maybe 10 times in almost 4 years and it hasn't hung up as bad as this. Hopefully a software update or something comes to help that.

It sounds like the dealer is just trying to cover their bases, but it’s always a good idea to double-check. The dealer might be unfamiliar with the rules for out-of-state sales, especially when it comes to tax collection. It's normal to pay tax when you register in your home state, but being asked to pay it at the dealership is unusual.

Before moving forward, I’d recommend confirming the details with the DMV in both Ohio and Connecticut to make sure you understand how tax should be handled. If they are collecting tax on the shipping, that might not be right either, so it's worth getting more info. It might help to check other online auctions too. You could find another deal that works better for you.
