And Gov Perry.
It's easy to get a used car dealer to vouch for ya.
And what they are also doing is establishing precedent for if and when Fair Tax comes to pass: by saying they can tax private transactions, they can tax anything twice.
Colorado does this. They go by Blue Book value. Kind of sucks if you are buying a relatively recent car that needs work.
Duh, I thought this was already the case everywhere. I discovered how the system works when my father sold me the keys to his old car for $799 and the car for $1. The DOT would not let me get away with paying taxes only on the one dollar cost of the car.
Well, if it's for the cheeren.
Aren't you glad the republicans are in control? Otherwise we would have to worry about the government coming up with new ways to rape the taxpayer.
Property taxes are confiscation a little at a time, so over a period of several years, the gommint has taken more than the value of the property. Gommint could never allow us the use the word "communist", but that's what it is.
You say it's not confiscation? Then try to skip paying taxes on it and you'll see how fast they put a lock on the door or tow your car away.
If you own a business, gommint is a silent partner. It does no work, it brings in no business, it pays you nothing. It tells you how to run your business. It takes a nice juicy percentage of the business' money. All for doing no work and breaking your cojones.
I just bid on two '04 Ford F-150 PU trucks in an on line auction and expect to pay less than $1500 on either of them, wonder how that will affect me if I win the bid.
The answer to this crap is a state version of the FairTax, a retail sales tax that takes the place of ALL property and business taxes in Texas. This broadens the tax base because legal citizens and illegal immigrants would all pay the SAME sales tax in Texas of 11 percent (4.75% above the current rate of 6.25%) when they buy NEW items only (not USED cars). Legal citizens are sent a check each month from the state reimbursing for the sales tax paid up to the poverty level. More background at "A Fair Tax for Texas?" http://www.texaspolicy.com/pdf/2005-01-fair.pdf
The FairTax at the national level (http://www.fairtax.org/) continues to build support with over 50 sponsors on the House bill that abolishes the IRS, the Internal Revenue Code and the need for filing a personal income tax return (what will you do with that extra time each spring?). An open letter endorsing the FairTax was written to the President, Congress and American people in April 2005 by 81 professional and university economists (http://www.fairtax.org/eco_endorsements.html).

Ping.
If you find the right insurance adjuster, they are free to charge at little as they want to complete a certified appraisal. I have done many of them for gas money alone.
Screw ‘em. Donate the vehicle or gift it.
