Hi everybody. I havent been on CL for a long time.

Currently own 2008 BMW 528i and I want to drive it as work car. I looking to purchase another used vehicle just to drive around. I found 2009 IS F with 54k miles and the other one is 2014 IS350 F sport with 45k miles, the IS350 F sport cost 1k more then the IS F.

Please list your suggestion below.

Thank

another question. The IS F I want is in another state. Can I pay the tax for home state at that dealership, or I have to pay over here? Im going to finance though

In some states you have to pay their sales tax before you leave the dealership

Definitely the IS-F. You won't regret it.

You only pay sales tax of the state you are registering in.

You do know the IS F has different engine than the F sport right? 09' IS is older Gen model, if you care about the interior looks and tech than 14' model is much better; however, if you want more performance, the F model is much quicker~ on straight line~~~ don't expect that much on corner and track haha, but will be better than the standard IS thats for sure

Cross-shopping cars is what we all do as car enthusiasts, but I can't understand why someone would actually think about paying $1K more to buy an F-sport with almost the same amount of miles even if it is 5 years newer.

The ISF is a TOTALLY different car, and if you are looking to buy something as a fun 2nd car, it's not even close. Get the ISF.

I feel this god forsaken state of Cali makes you do that. I had to do that with one of my cars I purchased even tho I was military and I am not required to pay sales tax since I am registering it out of state. They didn't care. I paid 9% sales tax on a 35K car.. you do the math..

I had to get that money refunded to me months later and it was a pain in the ***. After that experience I no longer by cars in California.

I purchased my ISF in Texas and didnt have to pay sales tax but i paid it when i registered it in Oklahoma 3.25% sales tax..

Fawking Cali..

I have bought 2 cars out of state this year..THE DEALER now has to collect and pay your home state the sales tax. They are required too! I live in GA and bought a car in FL and then one in NY and both dealers handled the sales tax based upon GA's 7% sales tax. No more having to sit at the DMV to register your car and cut them a check for the sales tax. Easy!

The Dealer I spoke to, told me to pay the tax at my home state.

I still doing some research about the tax kinda hassle
