CALLING ALL GRANGTOBER ORDER PLACERS

[BigFootie]

It's too bad that a flipper ruined this for everyone, would have been so much easier just to pay any tax directly to DMV (I've done this with the purchase of an out of state used vehicle before and it was super easy, DMV just tells you what you owe and you cut the check).

I’m guessing it wasn’t the case of just “one flipper”. I’m guessing it’s the case of many flippers and I don’t mean Ranger Ricks!

I'm sure you are right, jerks gotta ruin it for the rest of us.

I'm also registering in LA County when I get back. I was told they will be giving me a check made out to the CA DMV for the state sales tax. When you go to register there will be extra County and City taxes along with numerous fees. So you'll end giving the DMV the check from Granger and then paying the difference yourself. There's a calculator on the CA DMV website where you can estimate the total taxes and fees. There are close to 20 different fees that drive the cost up quite a bit. Depending on what city in LA County you're in will determine the final cost.

I took a quick look at registration fees for your "average" $45,000 Bronco in Lancaster, CA.

You would think that you would get a crime discount for living in the Desert.
Hold on to your wallet... $599! Not to mention the taxes of over $4600

That's insane... That's more like 10% tax plus the registration.

In Texas, it was 6.25% ($2812) and under 1/3 the registration fees ($185 - renewal is less). I don't know how you guys in California do it. I am sure there are states less expensive than Texas too.

5.5% tax and 128 registration for Wisconsin. But then, we have to shovel snow in the winter and replace cars every 20 years whether you want to or not assuming you drive it in the winter.

My total registration bill is going to be close to $6,000 when it's all added up. Thankfully this will be the last vehicle I ever buy in CA. Should have our retirement house completed in Montana next summer and they have zero sales tax.

That’s about 4 years property tax on 3800 sq ft of house and 5 acres in TN, with an extra 36x40 garage.

I'm in the same boat with the order Modification money. Did Granger offer any info on who was in charge of filing or how long. I'm without any info other than it has to be done.

Granger asked me if I had a certificate number for the Order Modification offer, which the Ford Marketing folks did not have available for me. Ford said Granger would need to work with their Assigned Marketing Rep at Ford to escalate it (I'm guessing that is the "exception process"). Ford did have the certificate number for the Model Year Transition private offer, but seemed like Granger had that info already, although it is showing for the "Level B" amount instead of the higher "Level A" amount for earlier reservations even though this was an Oct. 2020 res.

I am hoping that I will get through the incentive mess cleanly since I haven't moved, but I have wildcard situation. I live in one of the few counties left in America that still use Rural Route addressing. At least up until the past couple months, when they finally assigned street addresses. Just called Marketing, and it sounds like their system updated automatically on one part of my info to the new address. They added the original back in, but now I'm nervous.

Also, tracker has gone dead, and account says "completed purchase". Cautiously optimistic that this just means that prep is underway at Granger. It was dropped there on the 24th. Base 2d 7MT, so there's probably less prep to do than many.

For all my CA people:

CA DMV number of +1-800-777-0133. The system is upgraded, they will call you back. Super nice DMV person on the call back that was very helpful.

1. Send check and transit title to: ***choose DMV office that you will go to***
   1. Crucial: Place VIN in memo line of check
   2. They said it takes them 7-10 days to load into their system, they will hold the check for 30 days and then send it back if the transaction is not completed.
2. Make check payable to: CA DMV
3. Difference in sales tax will be covered by you at time of registration. In my case Granger did not calculate based on my address so it only covers basic CA fee.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for this! Did Granger mail you the check or did they mail to DMV?

They said the check would be mailed directly to the CA DMV

Got it, I was told it would be mailed to me but I'll double check that as I don't have it in writing.

It was delivered to Granger on 5/22. I was emailed today from finance.

Nice! Enjoy!
