I have not bought a new car....ever. The depreciation is too much. And the warranties on used cars are just as good as new ones nowadays.

Why did you have to pay out of state sales tax: http://www.city-data.com/forum/las-v...istration.html

This was on another vehicle I own. 2007 Chevy Silverado. Bought in Colorado. Colorado does not collect sales tax in the deal, therefore, you must take it upon yourself to pay it at time of registration. The difference in laws caught me by surprise when I moved here because the title was mistakenly filed in here (my future address at the time) instead of Colorado (where my current address was) by the dealership. So we had to make up the difference when we moved here.

Interesting; are some counties exempt from state sales tax? Motor Vehicles Division: Sales Tax Rates
