Thats an option. The downside is that in my states sales tax a trade in reduces the tax liability where as a down payment does not.

Yes but the only issue is I have a trade in. So I am not sure shipping from out of state would work.

Yes please give me his name and contact e mail if you have it. But I would need to do a trade in. Is that possible in this situation?

Not yet. But I am wondering if any other dealers are saying that production has slowed down.
