Buying Out Of State

Yes, we are able to ship vehicles all over the continental United States.

The advertised pricing for the new vehicles on our website and other media is after all Ford incentives for residents of the Lake City region. Ford may offer different incentives for your home address; therefore, the pricing may be different.

Most states, but not all states, are “reciprocal” with Florida for sales tax. In the states that are not, you would have to pay 6% sales tax to the state of Florida plus your home state tax. It may not make financial sense for you to purchase in Florida due to these differing tax requirements and rates. As of now, the following states are considered “double-tax” states: Arkansas, Mississippi, and West Virginia. There are others in certain cases as well.

Some states have different emission requirements than Florida. We are able to accommodate most states, towns, and cities.

Drafts, letters of credit, or funds on hold will not be accepted for out-of-state deals. We will also be happy to assist you with financing.

You will be required to provide state- and VIN-specific insurance, driver’s licenses or other proof of identity required from your state, and, if transferring a license plate, a copy of your state registration. All of these items must match the address of your new registration and the address we use on our buyers’ orders.

Some states require a vehicle/emissions inspection in your home state before they will title and register the vehicle. If your state does not have inspection requirements, the process is much simpler.

No, our manufacturers and lenders require the dealership to provide proof of registration and lien record. Ford requires proof of registration matching any incentives received.

There are a few states that will not/cannot give us the amount of local/city/county/state fees, sales tax, ad valorem tax, or use tax. We will do our best to estimate the cost for titling/registering your vehicle in your home state, but in some cases additional fees and items may be required. Please be advised that your assistance with getting the required documents and fees will be necessary before we are able to deliver your vehicle.

Each state varies greatly in how fast it processes out-of-state titles and registration. If you must provide emissions, state inspection, ad valorem, or paid property tax, fees, and assessment receipts, this will increase the processing time. Our goal, once we have all the documents, is to complete the registration within 60 days.
