Something very heavy to add to your consideration plate when considering a large dollar out-of-state purchase is, does your state of residency aggressively mine the UCC files for lost tax revenue. A large number of states have started since 2008. They are seeking tax funds from previously lost sources to make up for lost revenue. Fines and penalties can become substantial. The UCC code was put into place for financed sales, but some manufactures are even now providing sales information on cash sales also.

or financed. The UCC-1 filing is valid for fi ve years and can be continued
to extend the fi nancing statement for additional terms of five years. Filing
is usually with the office of the Secretary of State in the state of residence,
