The Model Black lets you shop participating dealerships' inventory across the country, not just the dealerships near you. When the selling dealership offers shipping, you can have the car delivered to your door, with the shipping, the taxes for where you live, and any signing fee shown on the vehicle page before you send your deal.
Every car from a participating dealership is priced for your ZIP code, wherever the dealership is. If the car you want is a state or two away, you are not limited to what is on the lots near you: the vehicle page shows you what it costs to have it brought to you, where the dealership ships, or to pick it up.
Each participating dealership decides whether it ships and sets its own rates. When it does, choose Delivery on the vehicle page and the shipping line is priced for your address under fees. Inside the dealership's local area it may deliver the car itself; farther out, a transporter brings it, and some dealerships offer enclosed transport as a choice. Where a dealership does not ship to you, the vehicle page shows the car priced for pickup at the dealership. Pickup at the dealership is always available.
For the details by state: taxes and fees by state, when you pay taxes on a car, and the trade-in tax credit by state.
A delivered car is signed the way the dealership offers: at the dealership, through a mobile notary at your door, or with remote signing from home. Some dealerships charge for a mobile notary or remote signing; when one does, the vehicle page shows it under fees before you send your deal, never after.
When your new car is shipped or delivered, your trade-in has to get to the dealership too. Some dealerships cover it. Others charge, either the same rate as shipping your new car or a set amount, and when they do, it shows as its own line under fees on the vehicle page before you send your deal.
When the selling dealership offers shipping, the vehicle page offers Delivery and prices the shipping for your address under fees. Where the dealership does not ship to you, the vehicle page shows the car priced for pickup at the dealership. Pickup at the dealership is always available.
It depends on the distance and on the dealership's own rates, so The Model Black prices it for each car and each address. Enter your ZIP on the vehicle page and, where the dealership ships to you, the shipping line appears under fees, before you send your deal.
Not always. You sign at the dealership unless it offers a mobile notary at your door or remote signing. If the dealership charges for signing, the fee is shown on the vehicle page under fees before you send your deal.
Sales tax follows where you register the car. The Model Black prices every car for your ZIP with your state's tax, title, and registration built in, and the tax pages explain how each state handles it.
The selling dealership, with its own transporter. Once your paperwork is complete and verified, the car ships. You're told the delivery window once the car leaves the dealership. The Model Black does not ship or deliver vehicles.
Your trade-in has to get to the dealership too. Some dealerships cover that; others charge for it, either the same rate as shipping your new car or a set amount. When the dealership charges, it shows as its own line under fees on the vehicle page, before you send your deal.
Yes. Pickup at the dealership is always an option, and the vehicle page reprices for it.
