If you are or ever going to buy a car in Va. read this

Man, for all the complaints I have about NY, after reading how some of the other states treat you guys I'm glad NY is the way it is.

Hand written bill of sale is good enough. Sales tax is determined by county. Eight percent in this one, 8.25% in the county just north of us. You paid $100 for that car? That's eight bucks added on.

Two year registration is determined by vehicle weight. And a lot of times the book they use is way under the actual weight of the vehicle.

They do hit you with other fees, though. Twenty-five dollar fee due every time you renew your insurance policy. A ten dollar fee if you switch vehicles on your policy. Two year use tax on the registration. which is funny, when you think about it, the government is hitting you with the registration to begin with. Now they tax the money they collect to begin with.

I'm sure horror stories are out there, but I haven't had to experience one. Yet.
