-Federal Taxes vary per income/declarations/deductions

Then we have gas tax, tolls, roadway taxes, use taxes, etc...

so what do you think you pay in a year to use the car? not including insurance??

With insurance $3,636 per annum for the 951.

And for my daily driver (Hemi Ram) $6,800est

Hi CPR,

How long have these rules been in place?
Is it the same in all States?

Regards

Full Coverage on the 951 is $738 per year
Full Coverage on the Hemi is $1126 per year

It varies State to State as for taxes and fees. Some are higher, some lower...some do not have State property taxes at all I think, but ALL have a DOT. States with lower fees and lower (or no tax at all) typically have a worse roadway infrastructure than States that charge higher fees. In Virginia we seem to pay alot, but we also have a good highway network (Federal/matched State dollars), State and County Roads (State owned). No potholes/bad roads in my 100 mile trip today

Just wondered as my wife only had to pay for tags and insurance in Illinois, but she left 12 years or more ago!
You are paying a huge amount. Would be cheaper to just rent a car each month?

Probably, but then I could not modify it :twisted:
