On The Model Black, Las Vegas shoppers see cars from participating Arizona dealerships, priced for Clark County's 8.375% rate, with delivery or shipping where the dealership offers it.
On a shipped car, the shipping charge shows on the car before you sign and no Arizona tax applies; you sign with the dealership: at the dealership, through a mobile notary at your door, or remotely, as it offers, and you're told the delivery window once the car leaves the dealership. Here is the whole process and how it compares with the other delivery options in the valley.
Nevada credits the Arizona tax you pay at pickup, so the tax comes out the same either way unless the Arizona tax is more than Nevada's (8.375% in Clark County), and Nevada refunds nothing in that case. The real difference is usually the dealership's shipping charge against the drive to Arizona and back. Each car page shows both totals for your ZIP code.
| Line | Shipped to Las Vegas | Picked up in Arizona |
|---|---|---|
| Nevada sales tax at registration | 8.375% of price minus trade | The difference after Nevada credits the Arizona tax you paid |
| Arizona tax | None | The Arizona store's full rate; Nevada credits it and refunds nothing above its own tax |
| Shipping | Each dealership sets its own delivery or shipping charge, shown on each car. | None (you drive it home on a 90-day Arizona permit) |
| Signing | Signed with the dealership: in store, by mobile notary at your door, or remotely, as it offers | At the dealership |
Carvana and CarMax deliver used cars in the valley. AutoNation and some local franchise stores deliver within a radius on cars from their own lot. Direct-sale brands deliver their own models. The Model Black is the option for a new car from participating Arizona dealerships, with the full out-the-door number and payment shown before anyone from the dealership talks to you, and delivery or shipping where the dealership offers it.
Priced by the selling store for your address and shown on the car, under fees, on top of the car's price and Nevada tax and fees. There is no Arizona tax on a shipped car.
Where the dealership ships, yes. Each car shows whether its dealership can bring it to your address, whether that is Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, Summerlin, or northern Nevada, and any charge is priced for your address and shown on the car.
You sign with the dealership: at the dealership, through a mobile notary at your door, or remotely, as it offers, and the paperwork is verified before the car ships. If you prefer to pick up in Arizona, you sign at the dealership.
