The Best Reason to Not Buy Any New Car

There’s one very persuasive reason arguing against the purchase of any new car – regardless of make or model:

The property tax you’ll be forced to pay  . . . forever.

Ot at least, for as long as you “own” your car. Which (like your home) you don’t really – because you’ll never stop making payments on it. Not to the bank – but to the government.

Which is the true owner of your home – and your vehicle.

You are allowed to conditionally possess it  . . .  for as long as you continue making those payments.

If you were really the owner, no one else could lawfully take possession of it. The fact that the government can – and will – reveals the truth of the matter.

Not all states apply this especially obnoxious tax to motor vehicles – but about half do. And the average hit is $238 annually.

Work that out.

Over the course of say five years, the average cost of the property tax is about $1,200 – to be allowed to pretend you own the vehicle you already paid for – with money that was already heavily taxed – and which you also paid sales tax on at the time you paid for it as well as additional taxes each year called “registration” and “state inspection” fees.
