Cash Purchase or Financed? The Route to an Airstream
California charges a Vehicle License Fee of about 0.65% of your Airstream's value every year at renewal, on top of the roughly 7.75% sales tax due in San Diego County at the time of purchase. These fees are both worth factoring in alongside the loan itself. Financing keeps more cash on hand for those costs, plus insurance and storage, rather than tying it all up in a single payment. It also means getting the floor plan that fits your family's needs instead of a smaller one that stays under a number set before you'd shopped. Loan interest may be deductible similarly to a second home or a business expense depending on your situation, which is worth confirming with your accountant.
