Hi people. I'm in the process of aquiring a used 6MT coupe. I already went to the dealer seeking for new ones but here in PR the prices are prohibitive for normal individuals (52,000 up)

I will hopefully join everyone her soon if everything comes out well.

 

Congrats Doc. We look forward to seeing your new ride, and hearing about it.

We want the details :P

 

Hehehe. Well, I dont wanna spoil my transaction with too much chit chat, but I'm negotiating a Graphite 6MT '03...

 

puerto rico? how much are g35 coupes going for used? 52,000 us dollars sounds like a lot for a new one...but i guess id beleive that. i own a g35c in the usvi. they want $40s for a new 350z here.

 

Actually, theyre asking almost $55K for a damn new one. (04s, so god knows how much theyll ask for '05s) Used ones run for anywhere between $38-45K. The one I'm negotiating is being offered for $37, I'm trying to get a lil lower below that, so lets see.

Problem with them are excise taxes. A $42,000 car gets around $11,000 in taxes, so thats were the screwjob comes from...

 

wow. if i wanted to register my car from the USVI in puerto rico, would i still have to pay the $11k in taxes?

 

Well, youd have to pay excise taxes and transportatioon fee. I'm not sure if youd have to pay the whole $11,000 though. Gotta check on that.

 

Well, I made a deal with the seller for $34,000.00. If everything goes alright, I'll have the car on saturday.

 

It's mine! I couldnt enjoy it during the weekend because the DMV closed on saturday (friday was a holiday over here and they gave them the day, bleh) but the owner dropped it this morning at my office. I'm itching to drive it!!!!
