And you might want to check to see if you can do the trip permit (temp registration) yourself at the local DMV, the key being the manufacturer's certificate of origin.
The one thing that bothers some people is that you pay for the car well before you actually see it.

You are 100% correct on the tax. That’s why it was being shipped in the first place. Dealer did say yesterday that Performance center can issue temp registration. Now have to decide if the extra 2 week drive home is worth it.
