I live in San Diego, California and I plan to buy a new Honda Pilot. But
the problem is that I will be moving to Seattle, WA in about six
months. I found from carsdirect.com that cars are more expensive in
Washington than in California. (We are talking about $1,600's
difference here in the case of a Hona Pilot.) I am also worried about
the hassle and the cost of car registration, changing the license
plate from California and Washington, the auto insurance difference (I
do not know which place is more expensive in terms of auto insurance).
Moving a car to Settle will be paid by a third-party and thus incur no
cost on me. My question is whether I should buy a Honda Pilot in
California now or wait till I move to Seattle. How much economical
gain is there? I need supporting information with license and
registration fees and auto insurance considered.
