How do you schedule my delivery?
Once we have received your funds and approved your signed contract, we will book your vehicle for transport with our network of trusted carriers. Please contact your Da Vinci Auto representative for more information. If you have any circumstances that would interfere with the delivery, please let us know by calling your Da Vinci Auto representative.
What should I do when my vehicle arrives?
Here’s what to do on the day of your delivery:
1. Inspect the vehicle before signing the bill of lading. If you find any issues notate on bill of lading.
2. The Da Vinci Auto team will have already placed 30-day temporary registration tags on the vehicle. The tags allow you to drive the car legally right away. Check to confirm the tags are in place.
3. Take your new ride for a spin! If you financed with Da Vinci Auto, we will register your vehicle for you, and we will mail your license plate and registration once all work is done with your State agency. Look to your finance packet for state specific registration requirements to complete and return to us once your vehicle is delivered. Don’t forget to contact your insurer to get your new vehicle covered. You’ll need your new vehicle’s 17-digit VIN number, mileage, and price when you call.
How does sales tax work?
All vehicles purchased will be charged applicable State sales tax on the total order. You will pay Florida Sales Tax up to 6% according to your State sales tax. If your State sales tax is over 6%, or there are any additional tax charges in your County, the remaining balance will be paid to your State. Example: If your State sales tax is 8.5%, you will pay Florida Sales Tax of 6% and the additional 2.5% will be paid to your State.
Do I live in a non-reciprocal state?
If you live in one of the three non-reciprocal states of Arkansas, Mississippi or West Virginia, you are required to pay tax in both states if you drive the vehicle home. If you purchase the vehicle through our Home Delivery Service and ship your vehicle home, you only pay tax in your home state.
