Our MSRP was 132,000 and our purchase price was 90,000. I don't think anyone pays full MSRP and I think its a sales and marketing tool used by the rv industry to make us fill good about getting 20 to 35 percent off. I guess we just pay it and go on.
Thanks for letting me rant.

Has anyone ever questioned the legality of such a thing?
Maybe it's because the wording was changed, it's OK and because it's not actually a sales tax.
What happens when you buy used, you pay on someone's book value or what?
No wonder my state's population continues to increase the way it does.
Don't believe in paying tax on used cars either. I mean do you pay tax on the used furniture, that you bought from your neighbor? Oh well, it's better than fighting with the state, I guess and have paid my 6 cents on a dollar car sale, more than once. Just requires the bill of sale, is all.
