Any source for Z with at least 10% discount, no tax in CA?

Want to get a current Z model if I can get a 10% discount off the retail pricing from a vendor outside of CA so there's no tax charged. (If there's more than 10%, even better.) Tiger direct is too limited in models as I'm looking for a 512Gb SSD model in the i5, 540M.

I was going to use BING/Ebates but Bing is over.

Thanks,
UL

 

There is no retail model with an i5 and 512 ssd besides the one you can buy at sonystyle retail stores. In the US, if you order a Configure-to-order Vaio Z and add 2 accessories and an extended warranty, they can take 15% off the total cost which cancels out the 10% CA tax and gives you 5%. I also live in CA and you can cancel the warranty within 30 days and for accessories, you can add anything from the site, not only the ones that are suggested on the customization window. (I added a Kensington lock and a cheap pair of earbuds for my sister)

btw, Tigerdirect has 15% bing cashback right now, if you dont mind getting the vpcz116gx/s (i5-520m/256 gb ssd) <-- pic of Vaio + bing cashback below

 

Thank you. I would jump on the Tiger Direct except they do not have any 512gb models and I'd like at least their 540m I5. Sincere thanks for your help.

I don't think you can find one without going to Sony's official site, which charge both tax and no discount. One think you can try is Ebay. They did have 8% bingcashback for the longest time. You might want to wait a bit for it to come back.

 

Thanks. I've been waiting daily for Bing to come back but it has not..... Thanks for all the help.

For pre-config models in the U.S. market, you might also want to consider the VPCZ118GX/S, if you can find a good deal.

It has:

Intel Core i5-540M 2.53GHz
384GB SSD

Unfortunately, TigerDirect do not offer this model on their website currently.

 

jr.com has that model though: Sony VAIO VPCZ118GX/S 13.1" Z Series Notebook PC in PC Notebook Computers at JR.com

 

I can't figure out how to get 15% from Bing cashback at Tigerdirect. The best I can find is 10% Bing Cashback. Anyone know exactly how to get the 15%?

Thanks!

 

Type tigerdirect into bing search and you should be able to get it. Firefox not recommended.

 

Is it possible to buy a black Z from anyone besides Sony?

 

Ebay.

The tigerdirect one is the best deal we have now? What you guys think about that model? No carbon fiber. Silver model.

Thank you
