Yep, I'm a junkie... Reply #30 – June 03, 2010, 11:23:35 PM Yeah that's what I'm used to, I wasn't expectinf a $272 registry bill then another $29 for the sticker. Plus I'll have the excise tax due soon and then the registrations's up in a couple months cuz it's a transfer. Owning cars sucks in MA... Quote Selected

Lowball was $2250 (which is what I had to pay tax on) mid range was over $5k and good condition was supposedly over $7700 resale! They're on some serious drugs around here...Sounds like their value guide is about 10 years out of date...I paid $147 total ($135 was sales tax) to register($10) the '98 Grand Marquis that had a stated resale from the PO of $4500, which is the actual price I paid... Didn't have to buy plates, as the ones from the '93 were transferred($2)...We should have lied about the sale price, could have saved at least $50-$75 on the tax... Quote Selected

Every time you turn around they are finding another way to get more money out of us by charging us for the "privilege" of being able to own personal property. Idiots.Oh, and nice Tbird, Crystal. I'm glad you found a good one. May God bless her and all of her passengers. Quote Selected
