I'm sticking with my baby. I have all options, no mechanical issues, low mileage (26k), all major maintenance just perfomed before free maintenance ran out, I don't think the grass is that much greener on the other side for me, unless I REALLY want DCT or ZCP or another color, which isn't the case.  |
As of March 1st in Georgia the way they tax vehicles has changed drastically. You used to pay sales tax (5-9% depending on county) and then a yearly Ad Valorem tax($500+ on an E90). You also wouldn't pay any sales tax on private party used car sales.
Going forward you'll pay a flat tax rate when you purchase the vehicle, new or used, and then never have to pay a yearly tax on it again. This tax is 6.5% in 2013-2014 and 7% in 2015+. You pay this at the time of vehicle purchase and its based off 'fair market value' of the vehicle.
This probably doesn't belong in this thread but I just thought I would let any GA potential buyers know if you want to buy a car private party now is the time to do it.
