Problem is that 50 states have 50 different systems.

vehicle sale tax is a one time thing.Based on the retail value of the vehicle.
Sales tax is dependent on the county of residence.4% for state plus an amount of local. Most counties hover around 2 to 4 percent for a total of about 8.
NY requires a safety and emissions inspection once per year. Safety is not a big deal. Brakes suspension, tire,glass,leaks etc.
Registration is easy, Present title and pay the fee. NY was two year registrations. Certainly less than a hundred dollars.
Just go thru any of the regular insurance companies, GEICO, Progressive,ETC. we have liability and collision.
Liability covers your victims.normally to 100k. Collision covers your vehicle as far as replacement. IN NY at least you do not need collision. It is a requirement posed by your lender but not the state. Of course in case of an accident you are on the hook.
