Unrealistic expectations

"9.25 sales tax and $195. title fee. "

You guys really get hosed. 6% and 15 bucks in Iowa. My plates might have added 20, don't remember. I paid 1500 for my 2010 500 with almost 13K on it. I don't think that is high, and I'd take the deal again in a heartbeat if I were shopping.

The title fee is what a lot of dealers charge not the state. Yes we do get hosed on sales tax.  My last purchase paid to the county was, Registration  $8. Title fee $10. Reflectorized plate fee .50 cents,  KHP training and staff fee $2. Law enforcement trn ctr fee $1.25 DMV modernization fee $4. County fee $5. McPherson facility fee $2. Isolated sales tax $67.50 County sales tax collection fee .50 cents,  Motor vehicle property tax $6. For a grand total of $106.75

Then we have the privilege of paying property tax ever year upon renewal.

Governments of all political stripes, in all countries will find some way of getting their sticky paws into your pockets!  The one we love over here is the wonderful "Vodka & Tonic" or VAT*  that's a beaut at 20%...

Canada has a VAT tax as well. At one time the US had a tax added to your phone bill to pay for the Spanish American war, the tax never went away until the breakup of AT&T.

I hear that The Mog, in Somalia, is nice this time of year, and they don't have taxes.
