gen3flygirl Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 This is probably a really dumb question but its better to be safe than sorry. I am going out of state this weekend to look at a new vehicle and if all goes well I will be driving it back Saturday. I will be getting it from a used car lot similar to carmax. Will they give me a temporary dealer tag/ 30 day tags or will I have to do that through their states DMV? Please be gentle this is my first time buying a car by my self. My dad will be going with me to make sure they don't try to screw me over but every thing will be in my name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked1 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Carmax is for suckers. You are getting screwed if you pay sticker price- but if you can't/don't know how to negotiate I suppose it is your money. 30 day tags are like 30 bucks or so and you will register the car at the Bmv in Ohio.

Wicked1 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 And yes. they will give them to you at the dealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Trust me I am not paying anything close to sticker price. I am still trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with the thing since the price is so low but the carfax came back clean so I will have to wait to see it in person.

Regarding taxes, you may want to ensure that they will apply that to your OH taxes, or just pay them to ohio when you register the car. Good luck!

jerben Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Like KruelHouse stated, they will give you temporary tags for their state as well as title. If you are financing it, then they will send you a non-negotiable title, which will allow you to register it here in Ohio. Just make sure that you don't pay taxes in both states.

Just make sure that you don't pay taxes in both states.all of the above info is pretty accurate. This quote however depends on the state as far as how they handle the title. When I bought my G35 in Indiana, Indiana BMV had to send the "e-title" to Ohio then I had to goto a title bureau and request my e-title. I was financing it at the time so somehow the lender was involved but now I can't remember the exact details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 thanks guys. I am pretty excited about this but mostly nauseous. I need a new vehicle since my truck is pretty much dead and unfortunately this will push back me getting a new bike. If I do get it I will be sure to post up pics.

jporter12 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 2008 dodge durangoDoes it have a Hemi? Really though, I can't say too much bad about them. I've worked on some, and they've been ok. I wouldn't say really good, just OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 2008 dodge durangoif its the auto trans give it a good run and see if its slipping which may be the cause of the cheap price. My buddy is on his 3rd trans in his 07ish and 2nd on his dakota which is an 02ish. why he still keeps either of them is beyond me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Sadly no hemi. Bad I will defiantly put it through it's paces before I hand over any money. I don't want the thing dieing on me on my 10 hour drive back to Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 2008 dodge durangohttp://www.google.com/search?q=durango+transmissionPretty much plan on a new transmission or two while you own the vehicle. Everyone I know who's owned one has had to get the transmission rebuilt/replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both purchased and sold cars that have been wrecked and Carfax showed absolutely nothing. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhondas Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Durango..... BIG GAS HOG.....I used to be a mopar fan until I drove a durango as a insurance temp vehicle. OMG that was when gas was about $2.09/ gal...... now at $3.55, I would need to go to the bank every week and get a loan to fill up that beast. See if they have a Tahoe or Blazer or Explorer. Any of them will give you better milage than that hog you're looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have been driving a 5.9L ram 2500 so this will actually have better gas milage. Pauly I don't have any kids yet but this vehicle will be around a while and if I work this summer it will be paid off by Dec. Then new toy will fallow.

myhondas Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Lucky you ! There are much better vehicles out there. The durango was a POS. The Chevy trailblazer is another....GMC envoy is nicel, but if you need a larger vehicle...you might start looking at what I'm looking at....an avalanche or an escalade. both very nice and much better gas mileage.

gen3flygirl Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 no the dodge is still available. The jeep I was going to ask about sold. I didn't find it until after I posted this thread but I liked it a hell of a lot more than the durango. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 get a tahoe! I don't know how people daily drive large SUVs and trucks when they have to pay for gas. I would never daily drive my 2500HD if I had to pay for gas, it'd be $100 every 3-4 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I daily drove a trailblazer 60 miles a day the got smart and got a 4 banger subaru imprezza much better on gas still all wheel drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
