out of state buyers


 

Pricing and rebates?

The advertised pricing for the new vehicles on our website and other medias is after all Chevrolet incentives applicable to residents of the Miami-Ft Lauderdale region. Chevrolet may offer different incentives for your home address, therefore the pricing may be different.

Can I finance with my bank or credit union?

Certified or wired funds must be received from your lender by the dealership before delivery. Drafts, letters of credit, or funds on hold will not be accepted on out of state deals. We will also be happy to assist you with financing.

What about insurance?

You will be required to provide state and VIN specific insurance, driver's licenses from your state, and if transferring a license plate, a copy of your state registration. All of these items must match the address of your new registration

How would I signed the documents?

Due to proof of identity requirements, you must sign all documents in person with one of our Notary partners in your home State.

Will you ship me the vehicle?

We do not ship vehicles but we can recommend some third party companies in good faith.

Can I title and register the Tropical Chevrolet vehicle I purchase outside the state of Florida?
We will need additional time to gather all of the necessary information from your home state regarding taxes, fees, inspection and emission information, and required forms. You may not be able to take delivery the same day.

What about taxes?

Most states, but not all states, are "reciprocal" with Florida for sales tax. In the states that are not, you would have to pay 6% sales tax to the state of Florida plus your home state tax.

Can I register any Tropical Chevrolet vehicle in my home state?
Some states have different emission requirements than Florida.

What if I am not returning home soon?

No problem, unless your home state requires a vehicle/emissions inspection in your home state before they will title and register the vehicle.

Can I handle my own title and registration?

Yes, if you purchase a preowned vehicle with immediately available certified or wired funds. No, if your purchase any new vehicle, or financed preowned vehicle. Lenders require the dealership provide proof of registration and lien record. Chevrolet requires proof of registration matching any incentives received.

What about additional fees charged by my state?

There are a few states that will not/cannot give us the amount of local/city/county/ state fees, sales tax, ad valorem tax, or use tax. For the same reasons as in the above answer, we would not be able to deliver the vehicle.

How long will it take to receive my new registration?

Each state varies greatly on how fast they process out of state titles and registration. If you must provide emissions, state inspection, ad-valorem or paid property tax-fees-assessments receipts, this will increase the processing time. Our goal, if we have all the documents, is to complete the registration within 60 days.
