2025 Z71 distant dealer question

Stay in your state, otherwise you will be in gray land should you need state protections (doubtful)

???????

Like what we’re talking about a brand new truck with factory warranty. It’s not like you can sue for getting ripped off on a bad finance deal.

@PPV_2018 an example, if your purchasing state is different then your registration state then which state lemon law applies?

If that’s the question I’m asking myself when shopping for a vehicle,

I will not be buying that model vehicle.


And to answer the question, i would assume the state it’s registered in. But if i had a vehicle i had to consider activating a claim on the lemon law then i would consult an attorney — but that should no way or shape determine where you buy a vehicle. If all the dealers in your state are rip-offs, but one dealer a state over (or 10 states over, for that matter) has the truck you want at a fair deal, you should not be taking short end of the stick because you *may* or *may not* be buying a lemon and/or are unclear of the legality of such a scenario. Lemon law will apply if it fits the criteria, unfortunately if it comes to that an attorney should probably be consulted who would advise you.

This varies by State, so if a person is concerned about having the Lemon Law protection available, research of the particular States' Lemon Laws would be something you'd want to educate yourself about. Some States have Lemon Laws that apply only to residents of that State, while others don't have that restriction.

Personally I've never bought out of State directly, but twice my dealer has acquired (traded for) the vehicle that I wanted so I could buy it locally. Neither were out-of-State vehicles but he'd have traded if it was what I wanted, and possible. Obviously dealer cooperation and pricing varies.

I have bought several vehicles that the local dealer had transported in from other dealers so they were sold as their vehicle.
Problem solved.

Greetings..I found a Z71 Tahoe equipped the way I want it. I've had several dealers in the Houston area searching for a couple of months. I found one 75 miles away. Have you ever bought not in your town? Were there issues with the warranty or maintenance when using the local dealer instead of driving back 75 miles. I know the warranty is supposed to be good at any dealer, but looking for people who have actually had experience as described.

Thanks.

My dealer is 120 miles away, as my salesmen gets me pricing no one can beat.(and I have tested him after 6 purchases)
I actually found the Yukon exactly like i wanted at a dealer 5 miles from my house. My dealer transfered it to him and now I take it for service where I originally saw it. And they know it was theirs. Also tge service i get is OVER THE TOP. 110%.
The only negative there was 150 more miles on it from the transferring. LOL
