Miracle Mile HD in Great Neck, NY will have a blue SESG in about a week..if anyone is interesed....

[Hawg]

Here is a good pic of the tail light on the "international" bikes showing the additional light added to the fender.  Note also the turn signals are changed to yellow as compared to the "domestic" model that has red for both brake and signals.........

I see the first mod I will be making on my SESG, those amber lenses and brake light have to go.

I wonder if you pay a sales tax if you're from out-of-state?

I wish you didn't, but you pay that at your local DMV when you go to tags for it. Some dealerships collect it and passit on and other have you pay it. Wishful thinking but I like it.

Did you get $800 under list and then they charged you for freight and handling or did you get $800 off plus free freight and handling? If it was the first price you simply paid MSRP and they dicounted the freight and handling.

Don't really know or remember thats been 3 years ago next week, Plus there was a women that had driven in from Richmond, Va to buy the bike for her husbands birthday and dealer didn't even have to come off the 800.00. I had called several dealers here in TN, GA, FL, NC and they were all asking from 2 to 5,000 over MSRP so i was glad to have found it. Plus it was the only Red one that i was able to find at the time.

Unless they have changed the law, If you buy here in TN and take it out of state you do not.

What about if you already have a tag from the bike I just sold?

More and more states are collecting sales tax from non-residents. They issue a State Form showing the amount of sales tax collected, then when the vehicle is titled and registered in the home State, the adjustments are made between the State bean-counters.

Whether or not an individual has a plate that is current from a previous sale, it is not valid for the new purchase. It can be transfereed by the Motor Vehicle division in the home state (some credit may be applied) but tax will still be collected when the plate (registration) is transferred to the new vehicle. So ... it is only a question of WHEN it gets paid, not IF   . Also, using a plate from a previous registration may help in not getting pulled over, but if the vehicle is pulled over for another reason and the plates are found not to match ... probably gonna be a bad day.

In Indiana, they collect sales tax on all vehicle purchases - regardless of home state. Usually this is fine but if the purchaser does not have sales tax in the home state, that money stays with Indiana as no "adjustment" can be made back to the home state of the purchaser.

For example, I buy a vehicle in Illinois. Illinois is a reciprocal state with Indiana. Illinois collects normal state sales tax of 6.25% (or whatever it is in IL). I get the bike home and to BMV in Indiana to title/tag it. Indiana sales tax is 7% so I pay the .75% difference (in this example) at the time of registering it. If I purchase the vehicle in a non-reciprocal state, or a state without sales tax (like Montana) - then I get hit with the full 7% at BMV when I register the new vehicle.

Hope this helps ...

Thanks TIF2 thats what I was trying to say, but you got it done.

In case anyone is looking for an 09 SEUC, I met a salesman from a dealer in Ohio this weekend while I was in Gettysburg, PA.  He has an 09 Silver/Blue for sale.  I checked their website http://www.westernreservehd.com/ and it looks like it has 3000 miles on it and they are listing it for $34,995.  The dealer is in Mentor, OH (near Cleveland).  The salesman's name was Ray Baynor and he seemed like a good guy and they apparently have a little room to move on the price for the bike.  So, just in case anyone is looking for a low mileage 09 that they might pick up for a decent price, I thought I'd throw this out there.

As many here know I had to travel from Florida to Georgia for my CVO Street Glide a couple of weeks ago.

Of course we got into the sales tax subject as part of completing the paperwork. Georgia now has a state law the requires them to send the title information directly to the new owners resident state. Then the resident state contacts the new owner and lets them know where to go to pay the tax and complete the registration and tag transfer of of the bike.

It seems that lots of people were buying bikes and saying that they were going to register them in another state. Eventually many of these bikes were really tagged in Georgia and the sales tax was assumed to have been paid earlier. So Georgia lost a lots of sales tax revenue. Hence the new law.

I agree with one of the earlier postings about the tags.

I put my Florida tag on the bike and the Georgia temporary tag in the hard bag. I am carrying a copy of the bill of sale, my transferred insurance, and my old registration with me. If I get stopped and the officer figures out that the tag doesn't match the bike, I can prove that everything is mine and if he is so inclined, I will put the temporary tag back on the bike over my Florida plate until I receive word from the Florida DMV.

I don't know if you have seen the new temporary plates but if I was a police officer I would pull you over based on the plate alone. It has the dealer name but no tag numbers, issue date or expiration date on it whatsoever.

It is interesting to note that I have received my insurance confirmation, a HOG new Bike Purchase Gift Certificate, my Extended Warranty Card and insurance binder BUT no contact from the DMV....yet. I'm still waiting to give them some badly needed revenue..or so they say......

DMV is a state run agency...it may take them a while but they will catch up....typical

Just got the word - total knee replacement in 10 days - doctor says I will not be able to ride for 4-months (he rides too) and can't seem to justify taking delivery of the Tequila just so it can sit.

>>> Adamec HD, Jacksonville, FL - Ship Date: October 9th - contact Chad Hixson at (904)424-4276<<<<

Also, may be another Tequila available at Jim's HD in St. Petersburg, FL - ship date of October 23 with - contact Mike Smith (727)527.9672.

If you would - tell 'em Drew sent you.

Very sad I had to walk (pun intended) on my FLHXSE deal ... but will be up and running (pun intended) and back in the Tequila-buying-game come first of the year.

Best to those who pick up these deals.

How much over MSRP are they on this one?? I know the guys at Adamac and nothing gets sold at MSRP....

If I were you, I'd buy the bike now if the deal was right ...for you because these things are getting REAL HARD TO FIND!!! You could at least admire it and polish it while you are on R&R.  

Please let us know how your knee surgery goes too.

regards

Yep ---- $595 over MSRP (but they'll deliver!?). If the Tequila is still available at Jim's HD, it'll be at MSRP.

I've already got a Street Glide ('06) that will be receiving much admiration and polish during my recovery - just can't see spending the $35K to let the Tequila sit in my garage for 3 - 4 months or more (I hope I'm back on the road by then). When my health is right, I'll find a deal that is right too.

Thanks for starting this thread BTW - it's been really helpful to me and I'm sure to others as well 

Best.

Hey Drew:
Hope things work out and you have a fast and complete recovery.
