Delivery
it seens the online dealers have better prices than the local bozos here in Kansas MO. What do they charge for delivery? Also do I need to register it before I take possession?? So I will pay tax on a vehicle I haven't seen yet?

Shipping cost depends on distance. Taxes are handled differently by dealers, and the dealer will explain how they handle them. But, you pay your taxes in your state when you register the vehicle.
And the local dealer aren't really bozos. They just don't handle the volume of sales the large dealers handle, so they don't get the same incentives from GM.

Then you take the MSO to the closest license bureau and get a Missouri title and license plates and pay the Missouri(and county and city) sales tax.
The cost of the transporter depends on mileage from the selling dealer to Kansas City and whether you want an enclosed hauler or an open hauler.
Enclosed hauler is more expensive but better odds that the car will be delivered clean vs a open hauler where the old car sitting above yours may be leaking fluids, etc.
I've purchased several new cars(and used cars) from outside of Missouri and never had to deviate from the above. But, I have personally gone to the selling dealer and inspected the car before handing over a check.
Depending on the car(new or a vintage used Corvette), I either have it shipped via an enclosed hauler or I drive the car home after paying for it. I have never paid any taxes to an out of state dealer.
I doubt you will be buying a new Corvette from California, but if you do, you may have to pay sales tax to California(but Missouri will credit you up to the amount of Missouri sales tax).

You can have the car "delivered" in one of two ways:
1) Car ships to the selling dealer and he then sends it to you via transporter like Intercity.
2) Selling Dealer arranges for a Courtesy Delivery at a local dealer for a fee, most likely $300-500.
Really depends whether the selling dealer has your car in stock or needs to order one to your specs.
Best of luck

And regarding "where do you pay taxes": It depends. Some states have agreements where you pay the tax in selling states; if not, you usually pay tax in the buying state. Also, you will pay the higher of the 2 amounts (whether selling or buying state has higher sales tax.)

I bought My ordered 16 NRB vert in Blue Springs MO. I have bought many cars including 3 vettes from them over the years. I got what I thought was an awesome price. Could I have gotten a better price from the forum dealers, maybe/probably but I prefer to deal with my local dealer whom if you have a decent relationship works out great. I also talked to the dealer in Independence and he had decent pricing also. I just prefered the Blue Springs Dealer. But to Call the dealers Bozo's is not fair at all. With an attitude like that who would want to deal with you.

Local dealer
Bozo was a figure of speech from dealing with NY dealers when I lived in NY . Anyways I went to a dealer today and didn't test drive the car because I wasn't ready to buy. But the car is 60k minus 15% discount and I will link the car. I actually thought it was fair. I loves the z51 spoiler , So here it is,
http://www.mccarthychevyls.com/f_WindowSticker?VIN=1G1YB2D73G5123152
now I don't think I can get the 0,% 72 months financing with this discount but he did say he will work with me so that's over 9k off the price of the without even sitting down. What do you guys think of this deal? It also had 16 miles on it. Same deal on a black one if i wanted. Only 2 on the lot.

Check what rate you can get yourself on a loan. Try LightStream loans or something similar to check rates. Once you know your loan rate, do the math, calculate the total finance costs over the term of the loan. (Such as borrowing 65k at 4% =__ over 72 months). Once you know this amount of self financed, you have leverage to know what that “deal”er is offering you with a finance rate or a discount off MSRP. They will try to make money via finance rates and the car. Ask them their best price for a cash offer. That takes the finance game away from them. After you get that price, then find out if you did choose to finance there, what their finance rate is at that price. In the end, the best price is the cheapest sales price+finance costs over the life of the loan.
Same situation for me in Houston. I bought mine site unseen from MacMulkin and paid to ship via Intercity. The only hassle is having to get the local emissions tests and standing in line to pay local sales taxes to get the plates. Intercity and MacMulkin were great.

If you buy a car in Florida and live in Missouri, you will pay Florida sales tax to the dealer and they give you the documentation so Missouri will credit you with the tax paid to FL.

Since you live in Missouri, you send the agreed on amount of money to the out of state selling dealer. Then he has the car sent to you by a private transporter(say Intercity) and sends you the MSO on the vehicle.
Then you take the MSO to the closest license bureau and get a Missouri title and license plates and pay the Missouri(and county and city) sales tax.
The cost of the transporter depends on mileage from the selling dealer to Kansas City and whether you want an enclosed hauler or an open hauler.
Enclosed hauler is more expensive but better odds that the car will be delivered clean vs a open hauler where the old car sitting above yours may be leaking fluids, etc.
I've purchased several new cars(and used cars) from outside of Missouri and never had to deviate from the above. But, I have personally gone to the selling dealer and inspected the car before handing over a check.
Depending on the car(new or a vintage used Corvette), I either have it shipped via an enclosed hauler or I drive the car home after paying for it. I have never paid any taxes to an out of state dealer.
I doubt you will be buying a new Corvette from California, but if you do, you may have to pay sales tax to California(but Missouri will credit you up to the amount of Missouri sales tax).
