sales tax is different from state //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Here in houston i would be ~$107 @ 8.25%

i would venture to guess that no matter the state you'd pay less then $150 in sales tax

it all depends on your state and local tax amount. figure out how much you pay for taxes in your state and multiply 1300 x 1.(your sales tax, me would be .095(9.5%))

in michigan sales take is 6% so it would be $78 here. now if you are smart and are buying from a private owner you write on the title that you purchased the car for $300

I don't know how it works in Michigan but the DMV in Louisiana has wised up to this practice and if there is an obvious attempt at defrauding the state (like say you bought an '01 Yukon Denali from someone and the bill of sale shows you paid like $1,500 or some other ludicrous amount) you'll get charged with attempting to file fraudulant legal documents.

the secretary of state here will mail you a letter and you have to prove what you paid for it if the become suspicious. you just gotta be reasonable

Am I the only one who finds it rather sad that an 18 year old either 1) doesn't know his states sales tax, and/or 2) doesn't know how to calculate the sales tax amount.

BTW, the wise thing to do here would be to call your BMV/DMV and ask them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Here in the communist wealth, we get the joy of paying sales tax for a car when you purchase it ( 4.5% and a minimum of $35 I think) . Plus personal property tax on the bastage every year after that you own it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
