Hello All,
This is a friendly reminder to all SC residents that the 6% state sales tax does NOT apply to vehicle purchases. We pay an “Infrastructure Maintenance Fee” (IMF) instead of sales tax. Any purchase of $10,000 or more will have a capped IMF of $500.
I am currently shopping for a 2020-21 Rebel with 5.7L (non e-torque), 4x4, rambox cargo-managment system, with 4-corner air suspension. I presently own a 2019 Rebel Quad 5.7L 4x4, and I love it, but I want the boxes and air suspension (mostly just the boxes).
It’s been about 6 months since I started shopping for another Rebel. I have had quotes ranging from $76,000-$59,860, to include an added $4,500-$7,000 "SC 6% sales tax." I find that it’s better to get the first outrageous quote from the dealer, get them as low as possible, and then politely educate them of SC’s no vehicle tax and see if I get a reply. Koons was the first to apologize and remove the tax.
As a guestimate, I have probably spoken with over thirty dealers across the country, maybe more. My military background (not retired, no discount) and occupation with all males, (I wouldn’t have it any other way) is probably the reason why I tend not to take the bs and shady stuff that a lot of dealers try. I promise I am not a b**ch, but some of their tactics are appalling, and I don’t like snakes.
I am currently on my 3rd build with Koons . I just received confirmation that my $1,500 bonus cash will count if they take delivery by February 1st. I am attaching my paperwork to this post. I do have a couple questions about it if anyone has a second to take a look.
-Is it normal to already have a vin listed on the sheet?
-Would the dealership hold the truck and notify me after February 1st
just to keep from honoring the $1,500?
-Has anyone gotten Koons to remove the second destination charge?
-Is this price crazy?
-Has anyone installed a rambox bed on a quad cab yet? I wish I had the
option, I love my truck.
To everyone who has contributed to this discussion, THANK YOU! Your experiences, negotiation tactics, prices, discount & dealer information, knowledge, and the "clear your browsing history/ turn off your pop-up blocker tip, has been an enormous help in my quest to buy a truck! I am very grateful and I truly appreciate all of your help!
Thank you,
