One of the best benefits of living out of city limits...Dad used to buy his trucks at Wickersham Ford in Orange...and we only had to pay Calcasieu Parish taxes, not Lake Charles city tax or Sulphur city tax. It was like 3-4% difference. If the dealer was in those city limits...you had to pay those sale tax rates.

Even though I live in Alabama...I'm considering buying my next truck in either Houston or Beaumont area. For all the reasons already in this thread. Unless the Bama dealers can get right on the price and trade-in values on both my trucks I plan on trading in.

They shouldn't have charged you for tax rate where you didn't live? Even buying local, they always ask me if I'm in or out of city.
