Hi,

I'm new in California/USA and I have no idea what kind of taxes I have to pay when buying a car. Lets say I end up with a price of 29.000$ for a vehicle on the Ford website, how much taxes do I have to put on top of it? What is the final price after taxes?

Thanks

 

Tax is 7.5% - 7.75% in CA. I don't remember about CA but in AZ if you have a trade-in, then the TAX is AFTER the TRADE-IN. If you have a DOWN PAYMENT then the TAX is BEFORE the DOWNPAYMENT.

Don't forget liscense and docuemnt fees. Which can add another $600-900

The taxes in Oklahoma are a percent of the vehicle price, call the DMV and ask them for the rates, then you can figure yourself based on the sales price of the vehicle.

 

Welcome to the forum and the USA...

 

lol welcome to US taxes

i live in chicago, and ON TOP of the state tax/ EVERY hidden fee you could imagine, they charged me a CHICAGO TAX!

SOON THEY WILL BE TAXING THE PREVIOUS TAXES!!!!!!!!!!

 

In Texas it is a 6.25% tax. That is after the trade in is deducted. Prior to October 1st you paid the tax on the sales price of a used car. After October 1st you pay tax on the presumptive value of the vehicle as determined by the state.

For example, I buy a used fox body for $2000 and I pay $125 in taxes (not including fees). After October 1st if I buy a used fox body for $2000 and the state decides that the standard presumptive value is $2900 I have to pay $181.25 in taxes. You can get a form and have the vehicle appraised by a licensed person to argue the value of the vehicle. Any insurance adjuster can do this for you so start making nice with your local adjusters.

 

I am german and the sales taxes in Germany are 16 % and 2007 19 % so everything under 10% is good for me
