V-nose or flat faced....
Looks like I will be making the trip to Georgia. Called a local dealer or two, no v-nose available, no extended tongue available with a v-nose. Both told me that as long as I would sign an affidavit stating that the trailer will not be used here in Washington I will not have to pay tax. Both of them wanted to charge me to go to DMV for a temporary tag. Asked if I could just get the paperwork from them and take care of just registering it myself said no. $75 for a temporary tag to haul the thing 35 miles...
Called the dealer on the west side of the state. 24' flat nose, claimed Continental Cargo doesn't offer a v-nose, told him that I checked the Continental site and saw they did. Then he said that an extended tongue isn't available with the v-nose. When asked if I could simply order what I wanted he mumbled something about time. He told me that if I were interested they have a 24' flat faced unit equipped with the car carrier package. Radial tires and a one piece roof. 7k. Plus tax. Claimed that just providing a legal document with an address in MT was not enough to avoid sales tax, he would need a driver's license. By the time tax is tagged on and his fees to DMV price will be just a tick or two under 8k.
Not going to spend that much and get something I don't want. Not to mention I am pretty sure the guy is scamming me for the tax $. 2 other dealers said seeing my LLC papers would suffice.
Found another local one. 2005 V-nose, 24'. Has a generator (have one) as well as a compressor (have one). Had some simple wood shelves. Couple dents. Bald tires...6k.
