I was lucky to get into bitcoins early enough. Thinking about spending them on a car: http://www.carsforbitcoins.com

If I sell bitcoins on MtGox instead, I will need to pay a tax. If I buy a car for bitcoins, no problem. Do you think it's a good idea now or better wait till bitcoin appreciates even more?

You'll still have to pay tax on the car when you register it....unless your not in the US

Careful...

Whoever buys a new car buys a new car.  Once a car is titled - to anyone - it is no longer new.  If you buy it from them, you're buying a used car.  There will be service and warranty impacts to that.

Actually, all new cars come with transferable warranty, good for a certain amount of years or miles...whichever comes first. I've bought several used cars with factory warranty left on them...the warranty just transfers into the new buyers name.

I do believe you have a very valid point though, a whole lot of screws could get put to you by using a middle man for a purchase like this.

I think that if I were going to buy a car with BTCs (which I'm not because I have none), I would probably just go talk to a brick and mortar dealership....or just sell the BTCs first.
