Holy crap, I had no idea that you guys are charged on full MSRP, at that high rate too! JFC, no wonder they have to have such low priced deals to move new cars down there, we just pay a TOTAL "tax" of 0.5% as a new excise tax in Oregon, no sales tax at all but we do have high property taxes instead... Hopefully this doesn't set off political comments, I'm normally OK with most taxes as long as the lower/middle class and small businesses don't get nailed hard, but that's ridiculous!
Ya even at $19,600 with Tri Color paint$595 Smoke storm Recaros $1995 Ebony Wheels$375 by the time I am out the door I am close to 23k all said and done.
It’s also why I think most dealers here push base models like they are going out of style.
Its why I wound up ordering my car. Which as of now should be delivered the week of July 9th.
I just laugh at the guy who ordered his car with a biuld date of June 25th, thinking he was going to have his car by the beginning of July.
My build date was the last week of May. Rail cars don’t run quickly in Mexico my car just hit the border a day or two ago.
Oh and as far as property Taxes go the only people here that have low property taxes are people who bought there homes prior to prop 13 in 1978. New home buyers get kicked hard here on property taxes.
There is a reason why there has been an exodus of Californians to Oregon, Nevade, Arizona etc... we are getting f’d hard here when it comes to taxes overall combined with the out of control real estate prices due to Facebook, Google, etc... oh and New Yorkers who come here thinking its so much cheaper than New York City they should move to SoCal and LA.
