sales tax... WTF????

[oreo_n2]

this is from the RMV website...

The sales tax for a private sale is calculated at 5% of the purchase price or the National Automotive Dealer Association (NADA) trade-in value, whichever is higher.



how the fuck can they charge based on the HIGHER of the two numbers? that sounds rather criminal to me? is there any legal basis for this BS?

sad but true... I think it's their way of bleeding you for the max, even if you have a *receipt* that says Duard Farkward sold you his '02 998 for one dollar...

...they're not quite as dumb as they act

yeah, a 998's got to be worth at LEAST $10.50

That applies to cars, they have no clue what a bike is worth.

That's not true, at least not here in Rhode Island. If the bike is newer than 10 years old, you're paying the sales tax on the NADA book value, they look it up in front of you and show it to you at the DMV. If you buy a used bike from a dealer, you'll pay the sales tax on what you paid. I've spent more than my fair share of time at the DMV
Stop you bitching, we don't even get a trade in allowance in RI and the tax rate is 7%

Not only is the tax rate high, but the roads suck. Not to mention all the freakin cops, they have a police barracks or police station every mile in that state.
