Cross-State Car Buying Simplified: Missouri and Kansas Edition
Welcome to Oakes Kia, your destination for the new Kia vehicle that you want to drive. Here at our dealership, we understand that purchasing a Kia from another state can leave you with questions. Our team is dedicated to helping you get your dream ride and get on the road.
Even if you are from Kansas City, KS, buying a new Kia vehicle from our Kansas City, MO, dealership can be easy. On this page, you can get to know more about the process and how our team can help.
Crossing State Lines Made Simple
You may look at buying across state lines and think about paperwork, tax issues, and registration hurdles. We are here to help you see how easy this process can be.
At our dealership, we have experience serving customers from all nearby Kansas locations, from helping you find the perfect ride to getting through the financing process. We make sure that all necessary documentation is completed and handled correctly and that all state requirements are met.
We also dedicate ourselves to your needs and help you with any questions you have along the way.
Understanding Sales Taxes
When buying a new Kia vehicle in Missouri and living in Kansas, drivers need to pay both Kansas compensating use tax and Missouri state tax. The Kansas compensating use tax is the same as the sales tax in the registration address. The Missouri sales tax is 4.255% plus local sales tax and is required to obtain a title for the new ride you choose.
Vehicle Registration and Title Transfer
Our team is here to help with all necessary documentation to get you on the road. This includes out-of-state title. We make sure all information is accurate, and all documents are completed to get you on the road in the new ride you want and make the process as smooth as possible.
State Inspections and Emissions Tests
Making sure your ride has been inspected and passes any emissions tests for the specific requirements of Kansas is smooth and easy at our dealership. We recommend that you check with the Kansas DMV for the latest requirements, and we can assist you in ensuring your ride meets all necessary state standards before you complete the purchase.
Insurance Coverage
Before you take your new Kia purchase home, you want to have any insurance coverage handled. We help with this process by making sure your insurance provider is contacted right from our dealership to secure coverage before you drive off.
We understand the importance of having peace of mind when you get behind the wheel. Our team assists in contacting the insurance provider and making sure everything is completed before you finalize your purchase. This gives you the coverage you need from the moment you drive off the lot.
What Should I Consider When Buying in Missouri?
There are a few other things you should know about the buying process in Missouri before you visit us.
Registration fees for your new Kia vehicle are based on the weight of the ride you choose or taxable horsepower. Kansas and Missouri do not have tax reciprocity.
If you have a trade-in, you can receive a tax credit when you title the vehicle in Missouri. You need to provide proof of trade-in, such as a copy of the title assignment or a Secure Power of Attorney.
