When you go to register your car, that's when they nail you with the 6% tax. No getting around state tax.
Good luck

RX-8 Jim,
Don't let any dealer sell you the car for any more than the S number. Hold your ground!!! I closed yesterday on my car. The dealer had to take a spare kit off and add a few things. He whined and cried about labor and cost. I told him I understood his dilemma. I paid the S-plan number. If you want the numbers let me know.
Here's what I bought

Speed,
I bought at Nucar in Del.. I live in Pa. I wrote a check for the car, tax and tags. The dealer will handle all the paper and money stuff for a interstate deal. I will have to get the Pa. inspection myself. It was worth it!!!!! Good Luck!

Irish,
I'll post some pics after my son tunes my computer skills up. Checked your web and look forward to the meets. I'm old but not dead!!!!!

Hey guys, started a new thread on the big meetup in PA...its in the NE Forum part, titled tri state area meetup. Sorry now link - using dial up :-)

I bought mine at John Kennedy Ford & Mazda in Conshohocken, PA (suburb of Philly). They were very nice and willing to work with you. They also let me test drive the car a second time for the whole afternoon by myself. And on the first test drive the guy let me really drive it hard (redlines and got it up to 100mph) and we went on an hour long test drive. They are cool there. Talk to John K, he's a bit of a nut but good. Also, I get free oil changes for the life of the car. Just have to pay for the filter. So it costs 7.42 for me. John Kennedy Mazda is good!!! So far I am completely satisfied.

Did you get a good deal? How much did u pay?
Thanks.

Just to second (third?) a comment above, Renee Fargason, the internet sales person at Faulkner Mazda in Philadelphia, is pleasant, professional, and straightforward. www.faulknermazda.com
