Buying a car in a different state than where you live?

My dad found a car in Wisconsin for me but I live in Vegas. He's going to drive it out here. I heard that it's not good to do that because "cars are made differently for Wisconsin than for Vegas." Is that true? I thought all cars of a particular make were the same and not fine tuned to the area where they are to be driven. Is it wise to have him bring the car?
I know I physically CAN drive it here. I am asking if it will have more problems here. If it was made for cooler temperatures and will have difficulties with the weather in Vegas.



Answer
As long as it is 50 state certified, or certified to the same emission standards as NV, then you should be fine. Or does the vehicle you're purchasing in Wisconsin have some "cold weather option package" that is giving you some concerns?

Usually, NV will get some CA-emission spec. vehicles, as opposed to the non-CA emission spec. vehicles, so that may be where you are hearing some concern.

I think your bigger concerns should be on how to physically get the car from Wisconsin to Vegas. Can the dealer in Wisconsin get you a NV title? Will you have to pay both Wisconsin and NV sales or excise tax? Can you get a temporary plate to drive it out of state, or will your father have to plate it in Wisconsin, and then resell it again to you once in NV to replate it? Or would a better route be to pay for an auto transporter to put it on a truck and ship it down to you?

or http://www.dmvnv.com/nvreg.htm#private if from a private seller

Good luck!

Where can I get technical information for cars?

I've got to choose a new business car and have a select list. I've tried Parkers website but they don't have the technical data anymore, only reviews and interior/exterior info. I need full engine specs and details such as 0-60, fuel consumption, co2 emissions etc.


Answer
Manufacturers and Dealerships go through alot of trouble to make these little pamphlets that give you all of that information. They are even available online at no cost to you.. But I can't remember what they are called... They keep 'em all over the showroom at your local dealer...

That's right, product brochures!!!

Or just go to the website of the manufacturer of the auto you prefer...
