I just pulled up the sales tax for my city: 10.75%
We're ranked 8th highest in the state.
Bernice, Farmerville, Jonesville, and Lake Providence are tied for the highest sales tax: 12%
In LA county where most live its 9.5% but several cities within it have district tax added to make it 10.5% :(
I think we have 6%, but it's on EVERYTHING, including food. The cities keep asking for the ability to set their own rates, but the state consistently denies them. That's kind of ironic. The state is arguing that the feds are too overbearing and decisions should be made closer to home...except that they take action each year to prevent the cities from having any authority. I guess decisions are best made somewhat closer to home, but not TOO close to home, cause that would just be bad.
Whenever I bought my truck, I paid $31k for it. I had $3,000 as a down payment, $3,000 for my trade-in, and then I financed the rest. The sales tax came out to like $3.4k, it basically wiped out my down payment and then some of my trade-in.
Depends on your financing interest rate. When I bought my 2015 mustang I put a G down to order it and when came in I financed the rest with 2.49% for 6 years. Stupid registration tags were $600 almost as much as the entire term financing cost. the tags "were" going down but then stupid governer brown jacked up the fees with a $185 increase on top of your regular feesQuote:

If I went 60 months I would have got 1.99% but for 1/2% I figured with no early payoff its worth doing 72. Then if I want or am able to I can pay off earlier

I think I am at 1.9% for 48 months, or something like that. I overpay by 10% per month, or therebouts. Not sure when the payoff is, and I guess I don't much care. I shouldn't be paying off that much because I can get better rates in bond funds these days. I'd just rather dump the debt.
Finally got some rain this week. I didn't wash my car so not sure why lol
Been getting lots of snow this week, even into the valleys. Skiing has been great last week and this week. Too bad it's already March, so the skiing will be ending pretty soon.
Need to submit a website to google and Bing. Havent done this in at least a decade. Things have changed allot.
You submit websites? I figured this was more of a pull than a push.
Spring has arrived. The temperatures are getting into the 60s today, with warmer temperatures to come each day for the next few. Time to take the skis out of the car and swap out the studded tires.
Temps just missed 60. Too many clouds early, I suppose.
Actually had some light rain/sprinkles here. Cold weather down into the upper 60s.
I did finally get my Shelby towed home from the shop after 4 years of being there :D
That's why it rained.
We're having sun and mid-50s. We should get into the upper 60s today. That would make it the warmest day of the year, thus far. The skis are out of the car, the studded tires come off tomorrow. Spring is here.
