Thanks for all your input, Sold 62k Barrett-Jackson had unbelievable response and love for the car.

The price seems about right. Congrats on the sale. If I had an auction like that close to me I would consider that as an option too for my 71 SS.

$62,000.00 USD...... That's about $85,000.00 CAN. Minus all the taxes....... About $75.00 CAN. take home. 

Unless you know a good accountant.

I was wondering the same thing.

Where do you think the  “ unless you know a good accountant “ comment came from?

Not sure how the other states calculate license fees, but here in California where they always have their hand in your pocket, they base them on purchase price. 62k would cost about $6200 in sales tax plus $650-$700 in annual registration fees.

NY is the same as far as sales tax, but the yearly registration fee (2 years in a lot of cases) is not quite as bad. Usually under a couple hundred dollars, at least on my vehicles. Naturally,  a bit more if you have personalized plates.

When I moved to Ca they nailed me for my Bronco NOT being built with Ca emission equip 😲 There was a class action lawsuit so I got some back, years later of course.

Fl hits you with the sales tax when you buy a new vehicle, I think its 6%. My vanity tag on the suburban is roughly $70 for a 2 year renewal.

Mark B i feel for you guys over there, but as Joe said we are with you on the sales tax but reggie's are not quite as bad!   I guess our thieves aren't as good as yours!!  lol

We’re back to about $5.40 for regular again. The only breaks we get are our backs.

Don't get me started on gas prices 🙃 Gotta run premium in the Monte and Suburban, $4.36 last fill up, Diesel in SC was $407 and $3.69 in Va, not the bio crap 🙃, GA was $4.59 so I hoped back on the Interstate and drove a few more miles. Still $105 to fill up

I left for Carlisle gas was $3.19 i came home its $3.49 so i am sure its on its way up again. I don't think we will be the same as you Mark B, but i am sure prices are going to go up the next 6-7 months.

Pennsylvania has stated the the state will start requiring the Summer Blend gas which will jump the prices here.

I know we blend diesel in Canada but I don’t think we blend gas? Is that just a southern states thing?

It has to do with the ambient temperatures and the volatility of the fuel. Colder weather requires a higher volatility to burn the fuel as opposed to the heat of summer. Your fuel suppliers take care of it behind the scenes, unless you lived so far up north that it may not be an issue?

 

Here's a couple results from a quick search, a few others basically say the same thing.

Apparently environmental concerns are part of the mix too, as far as vapors.

Not so bad here in Ky on cars over 20 years old. Considered antique. No registration every year, sales tax 6  % of whatever $ amount you and the seller say it sold for. Yearly property taxable value very reasonable on antique cars, for instance some only valued at a few hundred dollars on taxes. Insurance less per 1000 value on antique cars. Cars can be considered a classic at 15 years old for insurance purposes.. needless to say, I won’t be moving at this age to California or NY. Even tho both states are beautiful, I couldn’t afford to live there on a Ky retirement.. 

[Marks71]

That is why so many people plan for and then move out of this state upon retirement. My entire family lives here and we’re a pretty tight knit group, so I’m not going anywhere. Financially I would be better off somewhere else.

Just went to South Carolina last week gas was highest price in PA. Even NY is cheaper than pa. Gas has gotten crazy. We spent about $600.00 in gas round trip, mind you my truck gets 8.5 mpg towing our camper.

[Dtret]

I was on the interstate yesterday in PA and paid 3.45. 10 miles down the highway in Ohio 3.15.

Fl is the same on purchase /sales tax but we have to register every year or two years. No property tax on vehicles tho 😁 Homeowners insurance is a tad high for some reason 🤣 some news reports are saying a 35% increase this year.
