Requirements for buying in VA, NC?

Does anyone know the residency and local DMV requirements in terms of purchasing a car in VA or NC?

I have an NC address but a CA driver's lic.

Will I still get the 3% sales tax?

Thanks

you can buy a car anywhere but will have to pay for the appropriate taxes of the zipcode where you reside. that said, if you are now living in va/nc then you'll have to pay for taxes of that state/county. (basically you pay taxes where you register the car)

Good luck buying one in NC. I have not had much luck in the Raleigh area. I have been looking for one on and off for around 6 months. I will be purchasing a 4Runner outside of Baltimore, MD in a couple of weeks.

Let me know if would like the name of the salesman and dealership in MD.
 
No 4Runners in NC?

Which 4Runner model are you looking for that's so hard to find? What are the tax implications of buying in Marlyand?
 
are you military? if so you will pay the sales tax of where ever the vehicle gets registered. if it is in the state you are buying it, you will pay it at the dealer as part of the price. i bought mine in OH and registered in FL. i sent the check in with my registration paperwork.

I need to pay NC taxes to DMV and an additional $99 doc. fee to the MD dealer. All in all I am still saving $$$ over purchasing the SUV locally.

I want an 05 Limited V8 4WD with NAV, XREAS, Sunroof, Spoiler, and Side Impact Airbags.

Apparently they are very hard to come by in NC. In Maryland, the Limiteds come in 2 packages. One being similar to my list with the addition of the wireless headphones.

I thought I would never get a good deal on an 4Runner, until I called the MD dealership.
