Do I buy a 4runner premium in Colorado or Tennessee? Pros/Cons

As a car novice I need some input. Need to know the pros cons as I will be moving to Colorado.

 

1) Break in period.
Highly discourage driving that long for a new vehicle.

2) Registration.
I bet registration would be easy, dealership sending all that is needed. Also when it gets delayed it was easy to go back to dealership to get another temp tag.

3) Availability
It's crazy how much options you have here in CO to choose right from the dealer lot. I just noticed I can even pick regular fogs to blackout fogs on the same trim (eg - TRD ORP)

 

Depending on if you’re buying the 4Runner in one state and immediately or within a few months moving to the new state I’d check the DMV of where you’re moving to to see if there are any tax implications. Some states are reciprocal on sales tax paid in the other state and some aren’t.

 

Excellent point.

Also, you didn't say if you were buying new or used. If buying used, depends on what the market is like in both places. I keep hearing how nuts Toyota's are in Colorado, so you may be better off buying one in Tennessee.

Also factor in transporting the car to Colorado. Is it going to be your only vehicle and you're just going to drive it, or is that one more thing that you have to deal with in your move? If you now have to pay to have it transported, even if you do pay a little bit more for the vehicle and/or taxes, might be worth just waiting till you're settled in CO.

 

I will be buying a new 4 runner Premium SUV and I'm thinking to drive it all the way. I was thinking in terms of saving money if I buy in Tenneesse than in Colorado.

 

Oh okay, if new then local market has less to do with it. I would look into the taxes, you may have to pay sales tax in Tennessee and then pay again when you register it in Colorado.

 

Just drive it. It will be fine.
