Transport note Delaware's small size means most dealers also source from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and NJ auction markets. Transport from Wilmington to Philly is ~$75–125/unit.
Title note Delaware has no sales tax — a 4.25% document fee applies instead. Title processing through the Delaware DMV, which is known for efficient same-week turnaround on clean transactions.

Dealer tip: Delaware's no-sales-tax environment attracts buyers from PA and MD. Dealers here benefit from cross-border buyer demand that can support stronger retail margins.
