We can deliver a new camper to Talent, Oregon for $ 500.00.
We don't have to charge the CA sales tax when we actually deliver the camper to a customer in Oregon (deliver the camper accross the border).
This is usually about 1/2 the cost of paying the CA tax and it saves you a days worth of driving not having to come to California, probably $150.00 in gas savings too, and less wear & tear on your truck.
Just something to keep in mind.
I know we are not offering the $ 1500.00 for travel expense, but that is really just a sales game dealerships pay. You are going to pay one way or another. (0% interest on a car loan or $ 2000.00 cash back kinda thing) it really works out the same in the end for most customers. It is pretty easy to artificially inflate the cost of the camper and then offer the customer "free shipping". It sounds good upfront, but you are going to pay the cost if you know it, or not.
===================================================
Now must figure out how to not pay 7.75% CA sales tax, no sales tax here in Oregon.
