MINI2 - MINI Forum - View Single Post - HELP: Out of State tax question (Arizona/New Mexico)

You should only have to pay any registration/sales/inspection type fees. IE if AZ requires all cars to be sold to be inspected, you'd have to pay that. You shouldn't pay sales tax except to the state you register the car in. In your case NM. So you might have to pay $100 or less to AZ (not sure about specifics) but the big sales tax you should pay just as if you were buying the car in NM.

Is your dealer experienced in selling to NM residents? Generally they've been through it all and can be quite helpful if you ask.
