Grit Dog What suc's is a state legislature (who also owns a car delership in Wichita) got legislation passed for a tax on used vehicles from private individuals. Because private individuals had a unfair advantage over dealerships.
Now when you trade a car in to a dealership they only tax you on the difference giving the dealership a unfair advantage over a private individual.
You add in almost 10 percent sales tax and personal property tax on top of a vehicle ( like a platinum Ford F-350) and your talking a heck of a lot of money in taxes.
Since I'm retired I might move to South Dakota to establish residents and travel.
