Temp tag from where? CA? Okay. That'll be $6000 please. Oh, hi, AZ, you want $3500, too? But I paid CA. Talk to them. Oh, I have to do that? Okay...hey CA...member that $6000 I gave you? Could I have that back so I can give it to AZ? No? Um...okay.
It might just be that easy.
If it's anything like Utah; show up to AZ, pay taxes, they'll give you a long term (30-60 day) temp tag while your paperwork gets mailed in to them. When the paperwork comes in, they'll call you, go pick up registration and plates.

It might be. But I'm not undertaking a 17 hour round trip until I know how it works.

NEW???? It's BETTER than new!!!
In AZ, without a paper title, no temp tag, sales contract or notorized note from god will get you tags. You can get a one way trip pass from California that will physically get the car to AZ. But then the process turns into a vicious circle with no end. The bank won't request a paper title until the load is paid off, and the DMV won't register the vehicle to you, without the title.
This was my personal experience. Your results may vary! Phoenix MVD offices may be better staffed than the small town (Casa Grande) site.
Driving on temp tags, when dealing with two states, a dealership and bank, 60 day temp tags run out quick.
watch zootopia for the DMV scene.....kinda like that but waaaaaay more annoying.
Hope you can get this worked out. Would love to see a new cruiser here in town.

Exactly. It's not that I don't believe or appreciate what TonyP and others are saying. It's that I'm very leery of driving 17 hours round trip only to find out the dealer has no idea what they're doing. Or, worse yet, driving home in a nice new LC only to find out I'm missing something and can't register it.

If you are pre-approved through a financial institution, contact them now and ask what their policy is on requesting a paper title.
Maybe your bank is better than bank of the west (dealer recommended). I have had much better luck with USAA.
Find out now, maybe they will work with you on getting the title/registration.

Because it's not Magnetic Gray. And because the one in CA is $2000 more with 16,000 fewer miles, full warranty, and 2 years of free maintenance. Mostly, though, it's because it's not Magnetic Gray.
The deal is coming together for the one in CA. I may have to wait an extra week to pick it up while the paperwork gets settled, but I think it's going to happen.
Most states work like this. If you drive off the lot, you're paying sales tax from that state whether or not you register it there. They get audited all the time and the states investigate each transaction that didn't pay sales tax. So in this case, the CA dealership has to have their ducks lined up with the bill of lading showing the vehicle was shipped across the border and with proper BOE paperwork (form 447 and 448) filled out.
If you drive it off the lot, you'll pay California sales tax (varies from city) and issued a one way permit (super temporary tags) back to your state. If they're competent, they'll have their business office send out the paper title asap to the DMV nearest to you within a few business days for you to register it.
The dealership could also employ a third party service to register the car for you after you do the paperwork and then you'll just drive off the lot and the car will already be registered at the time you pick up the vehicle. It just takes some time to do that and it'll cost slightly more than if you did it yourself. I also suggest going out and seeing/driving the car before you do that as there might be no turning back after it's registered.
Good luck and hope that helped.

Quick question...I may be buying some Rock Warrior rims from the dealer to go with my new 200. I thought they were just a drop in replacement with 285/70R17s, but I see that everyone runs spacers of some sort. I know this has been asked a million billion times, but do people run spacers by choice or is it a requirement? Is it required for clearance or do people choose to use them because they want a wider stance? I don't want the dealer to slap them on improperly and have issues with my new rig from day one.
Mostly just for looks with a few exceptions.
by choice. i have RWs and run 285/70R17s - no spacers and no issues.

Thanks guys. I finally found the awesome tire database and saw that many are running without spacers.
No spacers here with RW and 34s.

I guess it never hurts to post this Toyota document:
Toyota SPECIFIES the LT285/70R17 tire for the 17" TRD "Rock Warrior" wheels on the LC200. Toyota has tested that wheel/tire combination to be 100% functional under all conditions - and my experience has supported that. Toyota does not recommend the use of spacers.
BTW, the correct Cold Tire Inflation Pressure for that setup is 40psi F/R

Additional to my last:
One can find the complete TRD wheel doc here: https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/installation/40362D86F9D917D98825767800785BB2_Tundra_Sequoia_Land Cruiser TRD Alloy Wheel PTR45-34070-34120 IssF.pdf

Edit to add:
If you do wind up buying the 17" TRD wheels, you may want to print out this doc and give it to your dealer. They may or may not have it, and even if they do, they probably won't read it.
Final edit:
You will note that the doc says to inflate tires to 46psi - this is not correct. It's a long story, but Toyota initially specified 40psi (the correct pressure), but later changed it because of an incorrect regulatory interpretation. Stick with 40psi F/R and you'll be all set.
